САЖЕТАКЦироза јетре је болест која се каракте-рише као свеобухватно патолошко стање које може настати услед различитих етиолошких фактора. Услед неправилног рада јетре сви остали процеси у организму су нарушени а и самим тим компликације цирозе јетре су мно-гобројне и угрожавају живот. Код збриња-вања оболелих са цирозом јетре значајну улогу имају добро обучене медицинске сестре -техничари заједно са лекаром у пружању помоћи и нези, посебно када је потребна ста-билизација хитног стања као што је акутна исуфицијенција јетре (АИЈ). Лечење оваквих пацијената је комплексно, потребно је обез-бедити стални венски приступ, те се пласира централни венски катетер (ЦВК). Адекватна примена ЦВК доприноси бољем опоравку оболелих од АИЈ као и скраћњу боравка у је-диници интензивне неге.Кључне речи: централни венски катетер, акутна исуфицијенција јетре, едуковане ме-дицинске сестре.

Background/Aim Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a significant complication of acute and chronic liver disease. It is crucial for nurses to have knowledge of encephalopathy symptoms to enable prompt and effective responses when caring for such patients. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate nurses’ HE knowledge in Najran hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Methods This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with nurses at the Najran Hospital in Najran City, Saudi Arabia. The sample size was determined using Epi-Calc 2000, resulting in a final sample of 125 nurses from intensive care units (ICU), cardiac surgical ICU and pediatric ICU, and they were selected by convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, and 125 nurses participated in knowledge assessment. The data were coded and entered into SPSS version 21.0 for descriptive and inferential statistics. Information letters and consent forms were obtained from all the participants. Results The majority of nurses (88.8%) were female, and 59.2% were married. The age range of participants was 20–30 years (50.4%). Approximately 36.8% had 4–6 years of work experience. The majority of the nurses (87.2%) held a bachelor’s degree. More than half (56%) of the nurses demonstrated moderate HE knowledge, whereas over a quarter (28%) exhibited good knowledge. There was a highly statistically significant association between marital status, level of education, nationality, and level of nurses’ knowledge regarding HE (P-value = 0.01, 0.02, and 0.02, respectively). Conclusion The study concludes that nurses in Najran hospitals have an adequate knowledge levels, ranging from moderate to good. This highlights the importance of tailored educational programs to enhance nurses’ understanding of HE symptoms and management.
