Abstract: (3691 Views)
Background and purpose: Physical restrictors are commonly used in intensive care units (ICUs). Lack of knowledge on the application of these tools leads to inappropriate care. Current study was designed to determine the effect of nursing trainings on the use of physical restrictors and the rate of their correct application in patients admitted to ICUs.
Materials and methods: In a quasi-experimental study (2016), the rate of application of physical restrictors and their correct use in ICUs were recorded. The nurses were selected from two different hospitals forming the intervention group and control group. The nurses in one hospital received trainings on the correct application of physical restrictors in ICUs. After the intervention, the data was compared within and between the intervention group and controls (the nurses in other hospital with no particular education during the study). The data was recorded 15 days after the intervention and analyzed in SPSS 18.
Results: The rates of application of physical inhibitors before the study in the intervention group and control group were 49.8% and 49.7% which were 37.6% and 49.7%, respectively after the intervention (p<0.001). The values for correct use of physical inhibitors in intervention and control groups were 34% and 37.3% before the intervention and 37.9% and 37.3%, respectively after the intervention. (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Training the nurses on the use of physical restrictors could reduce their rate of application and increase their correct use in ICUs which should be further considered by authorities.
