Thay đổi kiến thức, thực hành và tự tin của điều dưỡng về chăm sóc vết thương sau đào tạo 2 năm tại Bệnh viện Đa khoa Nông nghiệp

Abstract

Wound care is the basic technique in patient care which directly affects treatment outcomes. This study aimed to examine the knowledge, practice, and confidence level of nurses two years after the implementation of the training program on wound care at the Agriculture General Hospital. We conducted a study from April 2018 to June 2020 to compare the changes in knowledge, practice and confidence scores before and two years after completing the training program in 43 nurses at five clinical departments. Data were collected using a self - administrated knowledge questionnaire with 48 items, a 13 - item confidence checklist, and a 16 - item skills checklist. Epidata 3.1 and SPSS 18.0 were used to enter and analyze data. After the training program, the mean knowledge (113.70 ± 14.75 vs. 128.8 ± 21.20), and practice (63.21 ± 19.99 vs. 142.80 ± 9.30) statistically increased significantly (p < 0.001). The mean score of confidence in performing wound care increased in all 13 aspects (p < 0.001). Two years after the training, nurses’ knowledge, practice, and confidence regarding wound care have improved. This demonstrates the wound care training program based on the standards developed by Viet Duc University Hospital is suitable for the AGH and has achieved its initial promising outcomes. This program should be duplicated in other health facilities.
