Abstract

Objectives: "Describe the current status of knowledge and attitudes towards prevention of pressure ulcer among nurses at Vinmec Times City International Hospital in 2024" and "Describe associated factors related to knowledge and attitudes about pressure ulcer prevention of nurses at Vinmec Times City International General Hospital". Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 149 nurses from Department of Intensive Care, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Cardiology and Oncology of Vinmec Times City International Hospital from January 2024 to June 2024. Results: Nearly 80% (77.85%) of the nurses had good knowledge; similarly, 80.54 % of them had positive attitudes on prevention of pressure. Pressure ulcer prevention training and workload related to pressure ulcers were 2 associated factors related to knowledge of nurses. The factor related to nurses' attitudes in pressure ulcer prevention was the workload related to pressure ulcers. There was no statistically significant difference of age, gender, seniority, department, educational level and working position between 2 group of knowledge and attitudes (p>0.05). Conclusion: Nurses at Vinmec Times City International Hospital had a high rate of good knowledge and positive attitude in pressure ulcers prevention. Training of pressure ulcer prevention was related to nurses' good knowledge toward pressure ulcer prevention. Workload related to pressure ulcer care was related to both good knowledge and possitive attitudes of nurses. It is necessary to organize training programs on pressure ulcer prevention regularly and continuously, and encourage nurses to exchange and share their experiences in caring for patients at risk or with pressure ulcers.
