However, previous studies have reported variations in nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding patient immobility and its complications across different healthcare settings, highlighting areas for potential improvement.

Nurses who had received previous training were significantly more knowledgeable about major immobility complications than those who did not, with an odds ratio of 3.1.
