{"title":"Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Prevention of Pressure Ulcer: Intensive Care Units Sample in Turkey","authors":"Tuba Yılmazer, Hilal Tüzer, A.

MMaatteerriiaall aanndd MMeetthhooddss:: A cross sectional study was performed in eight intensive care units. 81 out of 95 nurses completed the questionnaire. The response rate of those who completed the questionnaire was 85.3%. As the data collection form of the study, “nurse information tool”, “tool for PU in-formation” and “attitude toward PU tool (APuP)” were used. The participating nurses were fully informed by the researcher about the purpose and method of the study and were asked to complete the tools. RReessuullttss:: Approximately half of the nurses (48.1%) in intensive care units about knowledge of prevention of pressure ulcer is in- adequate. Moreover, only in less than a quarter (21%) of the nurses have an attitude scores of equal to or greater than 75%. A significant negative correlation existed between knowledge levels and attitudes of nurses to prevent pressure ulcer (p<0.05). In other words, the positive attitudes of nurses decrease, as the level of knowledge to prevent pressure ulcer increases.CCoonncclluussiioonn:: In conclusion, nurses' knowledge on prevention of pressure ulcer in in- tensive care units is inadequate. This study also explored that only in less than a quarter of the nurses’ attitudes towards pressure ulcer prevention is positive. As the knowledge level of the nurses increases, the decrease in their positive attitudes is also thought provoking. In this study, it is thought that the individual differences of nurses are more effective on positive attitude than knowledge. Strategic plans (regular individual training, prevention policies and management, etc.) are necessary to improve both knowledge and positive attitude towards prevention of pressure ulcer.","PeriodicalId":159295,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Klinikleri Journal of Nursing Sciences","volume":"69 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134004472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The students’ perception of barriers to performing the BSE was lower and their self ‐ efficacy and health motivation were higher, and their mothers’ levels of perceived susceptibility and perceived barriers scores were significantly higher.
