“…However, nurses have difficulty recognizing delirium in their patients due to the lack of knowledge about delirium evaluation of the patient, risk factors, and interventions to prevent delirium ( Gesin et al, 2012 ; van de Steeg et al, 2014 ). Studies have shown that 75% of the nurses working in the ICU cannot detect delirium in the early period ( Rice et al, 2011 ; AbuRuz, 2017 ), delirium assessment tools are not used effectively, the lack of knowledge about delirium is an essential factor ( Rowley-Conwy, 2018 ), and nurses do not see delirium as a severe syndrome ( Xing et al, 2017 ). Nurses observe patients individually for 24 h and implement their care.…”

Background Training programs aiming to improve delirium diagnosis and management skills increase nurses’ care efficiency and improve patients’ health outcomes. This study was conducted to examine the effect of delirium information training on patient care by intensive care nurses. Methods In the research, one group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. The study sample consisted of 30 nurses working in four intensive care units of a university hospital between November 05, 2018, and February 15, 2019. The Personal Information Form, the Checklist for the Care of the Patient in Delirium, and the Confusion Assessment Scale for the Intensive Care Unit were used to collect the data. Intensive care nurses were provided with information training supported by a training booklet in two sessions of 40 min each. Results In the study, according to the Checklist for the Care of the Patient in Delirium, while the pre-test point average of the nurses was 6.17 ± 2.29, the post-test point average had increased to 11.17 ± 1.51 (p < 0.001). After the training, it was determined that there was a significant increase in the percentage of nurses who stated that they evaluated and detected whether their patients had pain, hallucinations, and delusions (p < 0.001). As a result, it has been determined that providing delirium information training to intensive care nurses positively affects the care of patients with delirium. In addition, it has been determined that with the Confusion Assessment Scale for Intensive Care Unit, nurses can provide the care they need to patients at risk in terms of delirium by identifying delirium.

“…[11] It is recommended to conduct a further study or a focus group discussion to explore why ICU nurses have difficulties in implementing this tool. These results are supported by AbuRuz [18] who stated that around half of the staff reported that they face difficulty in assessing a delirious patient. These findings were in line with Alharbi [13] who noted in her study that 100% of nurses agreed that they were not able to complete a delirium assessment for a sedated patient and they felt that they were not required to screen for ICU delirium, and doctors are the ones responsible for completing a delirium assessment.…”

Background and objective: Despite the availability of assessment tools for identifying and managing delirium in clinical settings, most cases remain undiagnosed, which demands the importance of conducting educational sessions. There is a necessity to understand why ICU nurses are unable to assess delirium in ICU patients, and there is a need to establish the best practice to promote patient safety. The descriptive cross-sectional research design aimed to assess the ICU nurses’ perception, knowledge, and Perceived barriers to delirium assessment, assess the association between qualifications and previous education regarding delirium to their knowledge and perception, and evaluate the association between ICU nurses' experience and total scores of knowledge and perception.Methods: A total 105 ICU nurses were selected from one of the tertiary hospitals in the Sultanate of Oman. Socio-demographics about ICU nurses’ knowledge, perception of delirium, and barriers to proper delirium assessment were collected by using an online self-administrative survey after obtaining consent. Data were statistically analyzed for central tendencies and level of dispersion (mean, range, and standard deviation).Results: The result of this study illustrated that 60.2% of ICU staff nurses have a moderate perception of the importance of delirium assessment in ICU. The majority of the nurses are females who held bachelor’s degrees with experience of six to ten years in the critical care field.Conclusions: The finding in this study illustrated that most of the staff nurses have previous training regarding delirium. However, there are gaps in delirium assessment, perception, and knowledge in ICU. Therefore, appropriate education is required to increase delirium identification, skill, and knowledge.

BackgroundSedation assessment and management is an essential part of critical care nursing. The patients are at significant risks of undersedation and oversedation. Critical care nurses must possess sufficient knowledge about sedation assessment and its management.AimThis study aimed to determine critical care nurses’ knowledge of sedation and its management in mechanically ventilated patients in Pakistan.MethodologyA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. The participants were recruited from three critical care units of a tertiary care hospital using a consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire.FindingsIn total, 91 critical care nurses participated in this study. Most of them had less than 2 years of experience as registered nurses and as intensive care unit nurses. The majority of them had insufficient knowledge (poor knowledge 18.7% and fair knowledge 63.7%), whereas only 17.6% had good knowledge of sedation and its management. The average correct response rate for general knowledge of sedation management practices was 71.3%. Almost half of the participants (51.6%) had poor knowledge of assessing undersedation and oversedation. Overall, 67% of nurses had good knowledge of managing sedative drugs.ConclusionThe majority of critical nurses lacked sufficient knowledge related to sedation and its management in mechanically ventilated patients. This poses risks to patients’ safety and quality of care.
