Investigation of knowledge,attitudes,and behaviors regarding ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention measures and influencing factors among ICU nurses
Objective To understand the knowledge,attitude,behavior status,and influencing factors of ventilator-asso-ciated pneumonia among nurses in a tertiary A medical intensive care unit in Zhejiang Province,and to provide a theoreti-cal basis for improving the nursing skills of nurses in intensive care units for ventilator-associated pneumonia.Methods In May 2023,a self-made survey questionnaire was used to cluster select 148 nurses from the intensive care unit of a ter-tiary A hospital in Zhejiang Province for investigation.Results ICU nurses from a tertiary A hospital in Zhejiang Prov-ince scored 16.16±1.82 in terms of VAP knowledge in the knowledge dimension,100.01±13.86 in the attitude dimen-sion,and 31.33±4.28 in the behavior dimension.The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that in terms of knowledge dimension,management positions showed a positive correlation trend with knowledge scores compared to re-sponsibility positions(P＜0.05),while education level and years of working in ICU nursing showed a negative correlation trend with knowledge scores(P＜0.05);In terms of attitude dimension,there is a positive correlation between years of experience in ICU nursing work and attitude scores(P＜0.05);In terms of behavioral dimensions,management and teaching positions show a negative correlation with behavioral scores compared to responsibility positions(P＜0.05).Conclusion The knowledge of ventilator-associated pneumonia among nurses in the intensive care unit of a tertiary A hospital in Zhejiang Province is at a high level,but their attitudes and behavioral levels still need to be improved.Suggest increasing education on the prevention measures for ventilator-associated pneumonia.
