The Knowledge of Nurses about Corneal Injury Prevention in an Intensive Care Unit
Keywords:
Corneal Injurie, Nursing Care, Intensive Care UnitsAbstract
Objective: To assess the knowledge of direct assistance nurses regarding the prevention of corneal injuries in an intensive care unit. Method: cross-sectional study with the application of a questionnaire developed by the authors to clinical nurses, working in an adult intensive care unit, in a large hospital. Convenience sampling technique was carried out, with a minimum sample number of 75 participants. Results: The research included 83 nurses who had worked in intensive care from one to four years. The majority of participants had specializations, in most cases in intensive care and emergency. Most nurses recognize the importance of eye care, including the care provided for the person who donated the corneal tissue. Nonetheless, most nurses have trouble recognizing risk factors associated with the respiratory system and do not know the main evidence-based preventive measures, especially those that involve the use of transparent polyurethane patches. Most of them also had trouble putting the nursing process into practice, lacking knowledge about the taxonomy and the frequency in which eye care should be prescribed and implemented. Conclusions: Even though nurses recognize the importance of eye care, protocols must be introduced, and nurses must be trained to adequately operate such protocols. Changes should also be implemented into the culture of systematized care, as shaped by the nursing process.
