Abstract Uvod: Pojam dekubitusa označava lokalno oštećenje kože i/ ili tkiva nastalo pod utjecajem djelovanja pritiska i drugih sila uz prisutnost različitih rizičnih čimbenika. U suvremenom svijetu ova ozljeda nastala zbog pritiska predstavlja veliki zdravstveni, socijalni i ekonomski problem. Prevencija je prvi i najvažniji korak u sprječavanju nastanka te medicinske sestre i tehničari u njoj imaju ključnu ulogu. Kao ravnopravni članovi zdravstvenog tima svojim znanjem, iskustvom i vještinama doprinose adekvatnoj skrbi. Kako bi se podigla svijest o važnosti prevencije i sprječavanja nastanka dekubitusa neophodno je procjenjivati znanja i stavove medicinskih sestara/ tehničara o ovoj temi.
Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati znanje medicinskih sestara i medicinskih tehničara o prevenciji nastanka dekubitusa i njihove stavove o važnosti edukacije.
Metode: Provedeno je presječno istraživanje među zaposlenim medicinskim sestrama i tehničarima. Podaci su prikupljeni pomoću anonimnog online upitnika sastavljenog od tri skupine pitanja koji je ispitanicima bio dostavljen putem e-mail adrese te na društvenoj mreži Facebook. Prva skupina pitanja obuhvaćala je sociodemografske podatke, druga skupina se odnosila na znanje o prevenciji nastanka dekubitusa te treća na procjenu stavova medicinskih sestara/ tehničara o važnosti edukacije.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 452 ispitanika, utvrđeno je kako većina medicinskih sestara/ tehničara ima pozitivan stav prema edukaciji i zadovoljavajuće znanje o prevenciji dekubitusa. Ukupan udio točnih odgovora na testu znanja o prevenciji nastanka dekubitusa iznosio je 81.47%. Između ostalog utvrđeno je kako ne postoji statistički značajna razlika (p> 0.05, najniža p= 0.1, najviša p= 0.91) u stavovima o važnosti edukacije o dekubitusu između medicinskih sestara i tehničara koji su zaposleni kraće i onih koji su zaposleni dulje od 10 godina.
Zaključak: Većina medicinskih sestara i tehničara (više od 50%) postigla je visoku točnost, preko 80%, na testu znanja o prevenciji nastanka dekubitusa te je većina njih (više od 50%) izrazila pozitivan stav prema ponuđenim tvrdnjama o važnosti edukacije. Medicinske sestre/tehničari s višom stručnom spremom postigli su točnost veću od 70% na testu znanja o prevenciji nastanka dekubitusa dok su medicinske sestre/tehničari s visokom stručnom spremom postigli točnost veću od 80% na istom testu. Važno je napomenuti kako nema statistički značajne razlike u stavovima o važnosti edukacije o dekubitusu između medicinskih sestara/tehničara s manje od 10 godina radnog staža i onih s više od 10 godina radnog staža (p> 0.05).
Abstract (english) Background: The term decubitus refers to local skin and/or tissue damage caused by pressure and other forces in the presence of various risk factors. In the modern world, this pressure injury is a major health, social and economic problem. Prevention is the first and most important step in occurrence of pressure ulcers, with nurses and technicians playing a key role in education. As valuable members of the healthcare team, they contribute to adequate care with their knowledge, experience and skills. In order to raise awareness of the importance of preventing and planning the occurrence of pressure ulcers, it is necessary to assess the knowledge and attitudes of nurses/technicians on this topic.
Aim: The aim of this research was to examine the knowledge of nurses and medical technicians about the prevention of pressure ulcers and their views on the importance of education.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among employed nurses and technicians. Data were collected using an anonymous online questionnaire consisting of three groups of questions. It was delivered to participants by e-mail address and the social network Facebook. The first group of questions included sociodemographic data, the second group was related to knowledge about the prevention of pressure ulcers, and the third to the assessment of nurses'/technicians' views on the importance of education.
Results: The study involved 452 participants and found that the majority of nurses and technicians have a positive attitude towards education and satisfactory knowledge about the prevention of pressure ulcers. The overall percentage of correct answers on the knowledge test about pressure ulcer prevention was 81.47%. Additionally, it was determined that there is no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05, lowest p = 0.1, highest p = 0.91) in attitudes towards the importance of education about pressure ulcers between nurses and technicians who have been employed for less than 10 years and those who have been employed for more than 10 years.
Conclusion: The majority of nurses and technicians (more than 50%) achieved high accuracy, over 80%, on the knowledge test about the prevention of pressure ulcers, and most of them (more than 50%) expressed a positive attitude towards the statements about the importance of education. Nurses/technicians with an associate degree achieved an accuracy of over 70% on the knowledge test about the prevention of pressure ulcers, while nurses/technicians with a
bachelor’s degree achieved an accuracy of over 80% on the same test. It is important to note that there is no statistically significant difference in the attitudes about the importance of education on pressure ulcers between nurses/technicians with less than 10 years of work experience and those with more than 10 years of work experience (p > 0.05).
