Περίληψη:
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. © The Author(s) 2018.
