Abstract:
Current study was conducted to assess the perception and barriers regarding proning among nurses. 385 nurses were conveniently surveyed using pre-tested tools. 3.9% of nurses "felt like running away" while providing care to the patients in prone position. 93.5% believed that prone position for COVID-19 patients is beneficial in reducing morbidity and that teamwork is required to be effective (96.6%). 93% nurses believed that inadequate staff-patient ratio is a significant barrier for prone positioning. Other barriers were fear of dislodgement of tubings (91.5%), difficulty in providing routine care (87.3%) and inadequate institutional protocol (83.9%). 12.5% were trained regarding proning.
