Background Critically ill patients are at high risk for pressure ulcers. Successful prevention of pressure ulcers requires that caregivers have adequate knowledge of this complication. Objective To assess intensive care nurses’ knowledge of pressure ulcers and the impact of an educational program on knowledge levels. Methods A knowledge assessment test was developed. A cohort of registered nurses in a tertiary referral hospital in New Zealand had knowledge assessed 3 times: before an educational program, within 2 weeks after the program, and 20 weeks later. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine if attributes such as length of time since qualifying or level of intensive care unit experience were associated with test scores. The content and results of the assessment test were evaluated. Results Completion of the educational program resulted in improved levels of knowledge. Mean scores on the assessment test were 84% at baseline and 89% following the educational program. The mean baseline score did not differ significantly from the mean 20-week follow-up score of 85%. No association was detected between demographic data and test scores. Content validity and standard setting were verified by using a variety of methods. Conclusion Levels of knowledge to prevent and manage pressure ulcers were good initially and improved with an educational program, but soon returned to baseline.

RESUMOObjetivo: O estudo objetivou identificar o conhecimento dos enfermeiros acerca da abordagem ecossistêmica em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Métodos: Caracterizou-se como pesquisa de caráter descritivo-exploratório de abordagem qualitativa. Os sujeitos foram três enfermeiros que atuavam a mais de um ano nesse espaço em Santa Maria, RS. A coleta ocorreu em agosto e setembro de 2011. Utilizou-se a análise temática para examinar os achados da pesquisa. Resultados: Na categorização emergiram duas temáticas: Abordagem Ecossistêmica em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva e Unidade de Terapia Intensiva como ambiente saudável e sustentável. Destacou-se que o conhecimento com base no paradigma ecossistêmico possibilita a compreensão das complexas atividades do espaço da UTI por meio das interações dos seus elementos constituintes. Conclusão: Assim, a visão sistêmica, ao considerar as múltiplas dimensões dos elementos integrantes desse espaço/ambiente e suas interações, é apropriada para potencializar a dinamicidade das constantes mudanças nesse espaço de trabalho.

AbstractObjective:Palliative care requires nurses to be knowledgeable about different aspects of the care that they provide for dying patients. This study, therefore, was conducted to examine oncology and intensive care nurses' knowledge about palliative care in Southeast Iran.Method:Using the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing (PCQN), 140 oncology and intensive care unit (ICU) nurses' knowledge about palliative care in three hospitals supervised by Kerman University of Medical Sciences was assessed.Results:In PCQN, the mean score was 7.59 (SD: 2.28). The most correct answers were in the category of management of pain and other symptoms (46.07%). The lowest correct answers were in the category of psychosocial and spiritual care (19.3%).Significance of results:These findings suggest that nurses' knowledge about palliative care can be improved by establishing specific palliative care units to focus on end-of-life care. This establishment requires incorporation of an end-of-life nursing education curriculum into undergraduate nursing studies.
