Background:
Prevention of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) has become an emerging topic in public health. Nurses' awareness of PICS is important for its management. The goal of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of neurosurgical nurses regarding PICS and analyze associated factors.
Method:
This cross-sectional study was conducted from March to May 2024. Data were collected from 274 neurosurgical nurses in 58 hospitals in China with a validated self-reported online questionnaire.
Results:
The knowledge score was medium, whereas their attitude and practice scores were high. The results showed that professional title, marital status, training, specialty certification, and intensive care unit work experience may affect the knowledge, attitude, and practice of neurosurgical nurses.
Conclusion:
These findings can help nurse managers and educators develop continuing education and prevention management programs for PICS to better prepare nurses for their evolving clinical roles and improve long-term outcomes.
