Abstract

Aims: To evaluate the nurse’s knowledge and practice about some preventive measures and correlated factors of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Subjects and Methods: Cross-sectional study on 37 nurses working at the Center of Anesthesia and Intensive, Bach Mai Hospital, from October 2022 to July 2023. Results: The median score of nurses' knowledge was 7 (the maximum score is 10) and was classified as 37.8% fair, 59.5% good, and 2.7% excellent. The correlated factors of nurses' knowledge included nurses having more than 5 years of experience and nurses having more than two training courses on ventilator-associated pneumonia. The median score of nurses' practice was 13,67 (the maximum score is 20) and was classified as 45.9% pass and 54.1% fail. The correlated factors of a nurse’s practice included female sex, nurses with bachelor’s degrees, and nurses with more than two training courses for ventilator-associated pneumonia. Conclusion: The nurse’s knowledge and practice about the preventive measures for ventilator-associated pneumonia are not good enough. The training of ventilator-associated pneumonia is necessary to improve the nurse’s knowledge and practice about caring for ventilated patients.
