| Abstract | ||
| Background: In ICU patients, delirium is a widespread, life-threatening, and preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. Untreated delirium increases mortality, morbidity, and functional decline, necessitating more nursing care, increasing healthcare costs, and lengthening hospital stays. Nurses' knowledge and techniques for delirium are insufficient in several studies. So, the study aimed to evaluate the effect of social-platform psycho-educational instructions regarding delirium on nurses’ care for intensive care unit patients. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to achieve the aim of this study. Setting: This study was applied in Egypt at Sohag City. Sample: - A total purposive sample of 200 nurses from 10 and 30 April 2019 by using an online questionnaire via Google Form. Tools: Three tools were used: Tool I: Nurse's knowledge assessment questionnaire regarding delirium, Tool II: Nurse's reported practice, and Tool III: Nurse's satisfaction with social-platform psychoeducational interventions. Results: The study findings revealed that nurses' knowledge and practices among the majority of studied nurses were satisfactory post- social-platform psychoeducational instructions compared to pre-instructions. There was a positive correlation between nurses' total knowledge and practices. Conclusion: The study concluded that social-platform psycho-educational instructions regarding delirium had a positive effect on improving nurses' performance caring for intensive care unit patients. Recommendations: Providing nurses with a well-planned health education program to improve their knowledge and practice regarding delirium | ||
