Factors Related to Practices for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Prevention Among Registered Nurses, Neonatal Intensive Care Units
Keywords:
Knowledge, Organizational support, Practices, Ventilator-associated pneumonia, Neonatal Intensive Care UnitsAbstract
This descriptive correlational study aimed to document current practices in the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and the relationship between knowledge and organizational support toward VAP prevention practices of registered nurses. The study sample included 87 registered nurses who worked in the neonatal intensive care units in six tertiary care hospitals. The research instrument was a questionnaire to collect demographic data and to assess knowledge, organizational support and current practices in VAP prevention. The study duration was between June 2018 and October 2019. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s Rank correlation coefficient.
The research findings showed that 70.2% of the participants had a low level of knowledge in VAP prevention, with 28.7% and 1.1% with moderate and high levels of knowledge, respectively. Eighty-two point eight and 17.2% received high and moderate levels of organizational support in VAP prevention, respectively. Ninety-six point six percent of samples had a good level of VAP prevention practices. Knowledge did not correlate with VAP prevention practices (r = .034, p = .753). Organizational support correlated positively and significantly with VAP prevention practices at a moderate level (r = .456, p < .01).
The results of this research indicated the necessity of promoting correct knowledge in VAP prevention among registered nurses and improving organizational support to help maintain existing practices in VAP prevention.
