عنوان انگلیسی Nurses' Knowledge and Ability to Diagnose Delirium in Intensive Care Units of Iraq Teaching Hospitals
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Background: Delirium as a clinical syndrome, if not diagnosed in time and not well treated, has a negative impact on the outcomes of intensive care patients. Despite its significance and occurrence, delirium continues to be detected at the lowest level. The purpose of this study was to determine whether intensive care unit nurses in Iraq are knowledgeable of delirium and can recognize it. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study that was conducted on 154 nurses   working in the intensive care units (ICUs) of Babylon, Al-Diwaniyah, and Karbala cities- Iraq, in 2022. The subjects were recruited by census. A demographic questionnaire, Case vignettes and the Delirium Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ) to measure delirium recognition and delirium knowledge were used to gather data. The data were analyzed using independent t-test and Pearson Correlation Coefficient in SPSS software version 22. The significance level was set at P< 0.05. Results: The mean score of overall knowledge was 46.73±14.34. The mean score for knowledge of delirium's incidence, symptoms, signs, and effects was 43.57±17.70, whereas the mean score for knowledge of its risk factors and causes was 49.7±18.74. The overall ability to recognize delirium had a mean score of 1.44±1.13. There was a significant relationship between knowledge of delirium, participation in a delirium training course (p = 0.008), and work experience in ICUs (p = 0.046). Conclusion: Given the results of our study, it is crucial to develop plans for increasing the knowledge of and ability to recognize delirium for critical care nurses in Iraq.
