1Department of Intensive Care Medicine, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China.
Background:
Pain, agitation, delirium, immobility, and sleep disruption (PADIS) are prevalent and closely connected in the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite their significance, PADIS circumstances are managed separately in ICU settings, and nurses lack a comprehensive understanding of PADIS management.
Aim:
To explore nurses' perceptions of PADIS, challenges encountered during the nursing process, and the need for PADIS training. Additionally, this study provides suggestions for establishing a PADIS training system.
Study Design:
A descriptive, qualitative design was used. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine nurses at a tertiary general hospital in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province, China. The interview data were analysed using the Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.
Findings:
Four major themes and nine subthemes emerged from interview data. The major themes were: (1) gaps in PADIS knowledge and clinical integration; (2) clinical settings and the influence of expertise; (3) PADIS management training attitude; (4) nurses' recommendations for PADIS training.
Conclusions:
The training methods are limited, and the current system has flaws. Establishing a scientific, rational training system that incorporates diverse methods is recommended to encourage nurses' active participation in training.
Relevance To Clinical Practice:
It is crucial to use appropriate, diverse training methods to strengthen nurses' comprehensive management of PADIS and enhance their capabilities.
