Introduction: Errors when filling in or interpreting the results of the EWS assessment causes delays and inaccuracies for the nurses when providing a clinical response. The aim of this study was to explain the relationship between the nurse’s knowledge and skill with the speed and accuracy of the nurse when assessing via EWS.Methods: This study used a correlation design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 104 nurses working in the inpatient ward of internal medicine according to the inclusion criteria. The sample was obtained through purposive sampling. The independent variable was the nurses’ knowledge and skill while the dependent variable was the nurse’s speed and accuracy when assessing using the EWS. The instruments used were questionnaires and observation sheets. The data was analyzed using Spearman Rho.Results: The results of the study showed that there was a very strong correlation between the knowledge-accuracy of the nurses when assessing using the EWS (r = 0.805; p = 0.000) and the nurse's skill-accuracy when assessing using the EWS (r = 0.823; p = 0.000). There was a strong correlation between the knowledge-speed of nurses assessing using the EWS (r = 0.269; p = 0.006) and the nurse's skill and speed when assessing using the EWS (r = 0.262; p = 0.007).Conclusion: The nurse’s knowledge and skill has a stronger relationship with accuracy when assessing using the EWS when compared to the nurses' speed.

The association between the attitude of nurses towards documentation and predictors was determined using multivariable logistic regression analysis. The level of statistical significance was determined at a p-value of less than 0.05. Result Among 413 nurses who participated in the study, 58.8% [95% CI of 54.5% to 63.7%] of them had a favorable attitude towards documentation. Work setting [AOR = 1.94 (95% CI: 1.23–3.05)] and Knowledge [AOR = 3.28 (95% CI: 2.08–5.16)], were significantly associated factors with nurses’ attitude towards documentation. Conclusion and Recommendations: More than half of the study participants had a favorable attitude towards documentation.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the level of nurses’ knowledge regarding the perioperative care of neurological patients. An author-developed questionnaire of 20 items was used in a sample of 94 hospital nurses serving in the neurology, surgery and anesthesiology departments and the intensive care unit. The average percentage of participants with correct answers was 49.2%. The mean value of participants' score was 9.8 ±3.4. Preexisting experience in the care of cases with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease was positively related to the level of knowledge (p = 0.001 and 0.014 respectively). The ascertained level of nurses' knowledge regarding the perioperative care of neurological patients was moderate, questioning their adequacy to handle such cases. Previous experience in the care of particular diseases had significantly positive impact on knowledge, suggesting potential improvement strategies through targeted education and specialization of nurses. In conclusion, nurse's knowledge regarding perioperative care of neurological patients was insufficient, requiring appropriate improvement interventions.

Occupational exposure to blood is a significant problem among health care workers. Nurses are a group that is particularly at risk. Exposure can lead to HBV, HCV or HIV infection. Extremely important for preventing exposures is improving knowledge of medical personnel about consequences of being infected by bloodborne pathogens, preventive measures and advantages of using those measures, and especially about post-exposure proceedings. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and opinions of nurses employed in anesthesiology and intensive care wards on occupational exposure and post-exposure management. Material and methods: A diagnostic survey method was employed for the research using author’s questionnaire. The study included 117 nurses working in the anesthesiology and intensive care units. Statistical analysis of the results was carried out using the descriptive statistics method. During the statistical verification p<0.05 was assumed as the level of significance of the obtained results. Results and conclusions: The level of knowledge and opinions of the surveyed nurses were not dependent on sociodemographic factors. Nurses use personal protective equipment and know post-exposure procedure, but don’t always follow it. Training doesn’t reduce the number of exposure cases. The most common mechanism of exposure is needle-stick injury.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores nursing care for stoma patients, with a focus on colostomies, while providing some broader information covering a multitude of topics that relate to any type of stoma. Nurses must be aware of various factors when caring for stoma patients, as the latter will not always be in touch with their specialist stoma nurse. Therefore, if a community nurse visits more often, they can make a difference with their knowledge and care. Complications are not uncommon, and it is important the correct advice is given on diet, exercise, avoiding complications such as parastomal hernia through certain techniques, medications and aids and appliances. SecuriCare and the Royal College of Nursing have produced clinical nursing standards for the stoma nurse, and these are also relevant to community nurses. A pharmacist can give more specialist advice on medications, a GP can prescribe for infections, and a stoma nurse can provide specialist expertise to the nurse and patient alike, but the community nurse is at the frontline with a community patient. Therefore, they should be equipped with the knowledge and care expertise, so they can know when to act by referral to the appropriate professional, or give the appropriate care and advice. The patient will also have psychological needs to consider, which may require referral if these are beyond the specialist stoma nurse's or community nurse's abilities.
