“…Vyas et al (2018) investigated EC knowledge and practice patterns of ICU nurses to determine their level of knowledge and practice pattern about exposure keratopathy in patients with mechanical ventilation. Although there was a high level of knowledge about EC in general, nurses had no appropriate practice pattern, and training programs are needed to improve nurses' EC knowledge and practice [ 18 ]. In a study on the EC knowledge and practice of nurses, Khalil et al (2019) also showed that although nurses have sufficient EC knowledge, they have poor EC practice [ 19 ].…”

Introduction. Sight is one of the most important and vital human senses. Lack of proper eye care (EC) in anesthetized patients can lead to serious ocular complications and even vision loss. Insufficient knowledge, attitude, and skills of nurses are considered as a barrier to providing EC in the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of training EC clinical practice guidelines for ICU patients on nurses’ knowledge, attitude, and practice of EC. Methods. This was an interventional study with a pre-post design performed on 60 ICU nurses. For the experimental group, EC clinical guideline training was performed for anesthetized patients in three sessions. The data collection tool included nurses’ clinical competence of the EC questionnaire with a possible score range of 0–86. This tool consists of three domains, including knowledge (0–18), attitude (0–28), and practice (0–40), which was completed in a self-assessment manner before and three months after the training program. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS16. Findings. The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice after the intervention in the experimental and control groups were 15.03 ± 2.72 and 11.11 ± 3.50, 25.65 ± 3.47 and 22.07 ± 3.08, and 33.88 ± 4.14 and 28.5 ± 55.08, respectively, which were statistically significant ( P ≤ 0.001 ). Also, the total score of clinical competence of EC after the intervention in the experimental and control groups was 74.56 ± 7.93 and 61.74 ± 9.66, which showed a significant difference ( P ≤ 0.001 ). Conclusion. Training nurses based on EC clinical guidelines for anesthetized patients can improve the knowledge, attitude, and practice of ICU nurses. Evidence-based EC practice requires continuous training based on clinical guidelines and EC practice monitoring by nursing managers according to EC clinical guideline for an anesthetized patient.

“…Patients who are in a coma and need respiratory support in the intensive care unit (ICU) are extremely sensitive to various comorbidities, such as pressure ulcers, sepsis, aspiration pneumonia, and keratopathy (Alghamdi et al, 2018;Vyas et al, 2018). In addition, patients hospitalized in ICUs are generally treated with neuromuscular blockers, sedatives, and muscle relaxant agents due to the symptoms they experience.…”

“…Eye complications are reported to develop in 42% to 60% of intensive care patients (Alghamdi et al, 2018). It is not possible to fully close the eyes in 20.8% to 75% of intensive care patients under sedation, and keratopathy develops in 3.6% to 60% (Ebadi et al, 2017;Vyas et al, 2018). Exposure keratopathy is usually caused by inadequate closure of the eyelid, resulting in dryness of the lower half of the cornea.…”

“…Exposure keratopathy is usually caused by inadequate closure of the eyelid, resulting in dryness of the lower half of the cornea. Keratopathy which develops in intensive care patients is usually bilateral, and can lead to infective keratitis unless adequate and effective eye care is provided (Demirel et al, 2014;Vyas et al, 2018). Although there are only a few studies on the eye problems of intensive care patients, corneal abrasions are reported to have the potential to develop within a short period, i.e., from 48 hours to a week (Ezra et al, 2004;Sarıtaş & Fırat, 2017).…”

Aim: This methodological study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Eye Care Clinical Competence Questionnaire, which evaluates the clinical competence of nurses regarding eye care in intensive care patients. Design: A methodological study. Methods: The study included 175 nurses working in the ICUs of the hospitals where the study was conducted. Results: Following factor analysis, based on the tetrachoric correlation matrix for the information sub-dimension, eight items were excluded from the questionnaire. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted for the questionnaire, the error variance value of item 26 was removed from the questionnaire. The final questionnaire adapted for the Turkish cultural context consisted of 26 items. Cronbach's alpha value for the attitude sub-dimension was 0.87; the Cronbach alpha value for the application sub-dimension was 0.85, and the Cronbach alpha value for the questionnaire as a whole was 0.84. Conclusion: It was found that the Turkish version of the Eye Care Clinical Competence Questionnaire was a valid and reliable measurement tool. This measurement tool can be used in studies to evaluate the clinical competence of intensive care nurses regarding eye care.

“…The prospective study investigates the effect of body position on intraocular pressure (IOP), confirmed the prone position record highest pressure among both, investigated and healthy groups [7] . Although, there are many studies in the world focused on eye care in intensive care units, in Iraq the information on this subject is inadequate [1,2,8,9,12,14] . In Iraq also, literatures published about eye screening and care in many types of eye disease in public, there is no study yet, assess nurses' knowledge based on evidencebased practice toward eye care in ICUs [10] .…”

Background: Eye care in intensive care units is crucial to avoid eye problems associated with infections, use of medications, effect of mechanical ventilators, and patient position. Indeed, there is no specific guideline or protocols use in eye care in Iraqi intensive care units, so the study focused on nurses to assess their knowledge regarding evidence-based practice toward eye care. Objectives:The objective of this study was to assess nurses' knowledge regarding evidence-based practice toward eye care in intensive care units, and to find out relationships between their demographics and total knowledge.Method: A descriptive study using a purposive sample (non-probability) was used to survey 30 nurses who met the sampling criteria in two teaching hospitals in the south of Iraq to assess their knowledge regarding eye care. A valid and reliable tool was used after getting the permission from the copyright holder.Results: More than one-third of study sample were (22-26) years old they account (40%). Majority of them were male (56.7%), and (53.3%) of the study sample had bachelor's degree in nursing. Regarding years of experience half of the study sample had more than five years of experience in intensive care units. Majority of the study sample (63.3%) has no participation in training courses about eye care and (83.3%) was day shift of work. The total mean of score of nurses' knowledge was poor (0.33). Conclusion:There is a need to conduct training courses for nurses who work in intensive care units about eye care based on standard as the results in this study indicated that there is a significance association between, nurses' knowledge and participation in training course, about eye care.
