Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 8Compliance of Non-Pharmacological Preventive Practice of Venous Thromboembolism Among Jordanian Nurses(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022) AL-Mugheed, Khaild; Bayraktar, Nurhan; Nashwan, Abdulqadir J.; Al-Bsheish, Mohammad; AlSyouf, Adi; Jarrar, Mu'tamanMany practices, such as non-pharmacological preventive practices, have demonstrated significant improvement and reduced the venous thromboembolism incidence. This study aims at investigating the compliance with non-pharmacological preventive practice of venous thromboembolism guidelines among Jordanian intensive care and medical and surgical nurses. Descriptive and cross-sectional with the non-participant observational design was used. This study recruited 271 registered nurses in adult medical-surgical units and intensive care units of 12 different government hospitals in Jordan's middle and north regions. The observational checklist included 10 preventive practices based on the non-pharmacological preventive of venous thromboembolism guidelines. In the observational checklist, the highest score was 20, and the lowest was 0. If the nurse received equal to or higher than (>14) score were classified as sufficient compliance, while insufficient compliance was (<= 14) score. The observations period started from September 2019 until March 2020. The participants' overall mean venous thromboembolism compliance score was insufficient compliance (10.6 +/- 1.6). The majority of nurses were classified as insufficient compliance 67%. "Doing foot exercise and early ambulation 2 times per day 50.3%" and "checked the integrity of the patient's skin at regular intervals 50.0%" were the highest practices done rightly and completely by half of the participants. The participants who had a bachelor of nursing degree, staff nurse, and works in the intensive care unit, are less experienced and have no previous venous thromboembolism education reported low venous thromboembolism compliance. This study presents expanded compliance regarding venous thromboembolism preventive practices among Jordanian intensive care and medical & surgical nurses, so the policymakers need to develop an initiative to improve nurses' compliance.Article Citation - WoS: 4A Qualitative Study of Medical-Surgical Intensive Care Unit Nurses' Experiences in Caring for Critical Patients(Univ Sao Paolo, 2022) Dikmen, Burcu Totur; Bayraktar, Nurhan; Yilmaz, Uemran DalObjective: To describe the meaning attributed to nurses' clinical experience in a medical -surgical intensive care unit in Northern Cyprus. Method: The qualitative study was conducted in two medical-surgical intensive care units at a university hospital. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 17 nurses. Giorgi's descriptive phenomenological approach was used to analyze nurses' experiences. The consolidated criteria for reporting a qualitative research checklist were followed in this study. Results: The data analysis led to the extraction of the 5 themes and 19 subthemes. The themes identified for the study were competence, the emotional universe, stress resources, the meaning of nursing care, and profoundly affecting events. The study results show that the nurses expressed that having gained much experience in intensive care units and working there has contributed significantly to their professional development. Conclusion: It was indicated that the nurses had meaningful, caring experiences in intensive care units, which were perceived, however, as stressful experiences as well. The study has important implications for nurses, faculty members, and administrators to gain positive care experiences in terms of intensive care units.
