Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices of nurses working in intensive care units regarding the use of physical restraints. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between May and November 2019 with 202 nurses working in intensive care units and volunteering to participate in the research. Data were collected using a questionnaire form and the “Levels of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Staff Regarding Physical Restraints Questionnaire”. A statistically significant difference was found between mean knowledge, attitude, and practice score and intensive care units, between mean practice score and the status of receiving information about physical restraints and the number of patients cared for during the day, between mean attitude and practice score and the number of patients cared for at night, between mean knowledge, attitude and practice score and intensive care level (p<0.05). It is recommended to raise awareness about nurses' knowledge of their legal rights regarding physical restraint use and encourage further studies to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices of nurses regarding the relevant topic.

Yoğun Bakım Hemşirelerinin Fiziksel Tespit Edicileri Kullanımına İlişkin Bilgi, Tutum ve Uygulamaları

Abstract

Bu araştırma, yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan hemşirelerin fiziksel tespit edicileri kullanımına ilişkin bilgi, tutum ve uygulamalarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan ve araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 202 hemşire ile Mayıs-Kasım 2019 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, bir anket formu ve “Personelin Fiziksel Kısıtlamalara İlişkin Bilgi Düzeyleri, Tutumları ve Uygulamaları Anketi” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bilgi, tutum ve uygulama puan ortalamaları ve yoğun bakım üniteleri arasında, uygulama puan ortalaması ve fiziksel kısıtlamalar hakkında bilgi alma durumu ve gündüz bakılan hasta sayısı arasında, tutum ve uygulama puan ortalamaları ve gece bakılan hasta sayısı arasında, bilgi, tutum ve uygulama puan ortalamaları ile yoğun bakım düzeyi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Hemşirelerin fiziksel tespit kullanımına ilişkin yasal hakları konusunda farkındalıklarının artırılması ve hemşirelerin konuyla ilgili bilgi, tutum ve uygulamalarının belirlenmesine yönelik çalışmaların teşvik edilmesi önerilmektedir.
