Summary
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses show inadequate knowledge and attitudes regarding multimodal brain function monitoring. Targeted education and research involvement are vital to enhance expertise in this critical area.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Critical Care Medicine
- Nursing Education
Background:
- Multimodal brain function monitoring is essential in Intensive Care Units (ICUs).
- Assessing healthcare professionals' understanding is key to effective implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards multimodal brain function monitoring.
- Identify factors influencing nurses' comprehension and perspectives on brain monitoring.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study surveyed 263 ICU nurses using a self-designed questionnaire.
- Data collected included demographics, knowledge, and attitudes towards multimodal brain function monitoring.
Main Results:
- Nurses demonstrated suboptimal knowledge (median score 11/24) and attitudes (mean score 31.34/45).
- Experience (5-10 years, >10 years), research involvement, and job satisfaction correlated with better knowledge.
- Higher knowledge scores were linked to more positive attitudes.
Conclusions:
- ICU nurses require enhanced education on multimodal brain function monitoring.
- Interventions should focus on improving knowledge, particularly for less experienced staff.
- Promoting research engagement and job satisfaction can elevate clinical practice.
