Barriers to Safe Oxygen Therapy and the Effect of the Training on the Knowledge and Performance of ICU Nurses

CONCLUSION: The study's findings revealed that nurses in ICUs lack the appropriate knowledge and performance in oxygen therapy. A lack of knowledge and correct practice, insufficient monitoring of oxygen therapy, and defects in hospital equipment are contributing factors. The training was found to improve the knowledge and performance of nurses significantly. Consistent training at shorter intervals is suggested for nurses to keep their knowledge current.PMID:38021313 | PMC:PMC10653962 | DOI:10.1155/2023/5490322
