| dc.description.abstract | Background: Oral care is basic nursing care that has a paramount impact on patient‟sgeneral health in a hospitalized patient in general and on intubated patients in particular.There is limited information on the nurse‟s knowledge, attitude, practice and associatedfactors of oral care for a patient with endotracheal intubation in Ethiopia. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess intensive care unit nurse‟s knowledge, attitude, and self-report and associated factors of oral care for a patient with endotracheal intubation in public hospitals Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 2021. Method: Institutional-based cross-sectional study was employed. SRS was used to select306 nurses from four randomly selected hospitals. A Structured and pretested questionnaire was used to collect the data. Cleaned and coded data were entered into Epi-data 4.4.2.1 and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Both descriptive and analytical components were done; all variables that were significant at p-value < 0.25 in the binary logistic regression analysis were candidates for further multivariable logistic regression analysis. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI was estimated to measure the strength of association. The levels of statistical significance were declared at a p-value < 0.05. Result: The prevalence of intensive care unit nurse‟s knowledge, attitude, and self-reported practice in the study area is 20.3%, 46.1%n and 51.9% respectively. The mean age of the participants was 30.83±3.87 years. Work experience [AOR 0.274, 95%CI: 0.105-0.715],having oral care training [AOR 3.619, 95%CI: 1.698-7.712], having a positive attitude [AOR 2.050, 95%CI: 1.010-4.161], ware associated with knowledge while work experience [AOR 5.377, 95%CI: 1,946-14852] having an adequate number of ICU nurse [AOR 0.514, 95% CI: 0.300-0.881] having good oral care self-reported practice [AOR 2.354, 95%CI: 1.384-4.005]were associated with attitude. Finally, work experience [AOR 4.112, 95 % CI: 1.595-10.597] and having a positive attitude [AOR 2.176, 95 % CI: 1.294-2.659] ware associated with self-reported oral care practice. Conclusion: The overall knowledge, attitude, and practice towards oral care for a patientwith endotracheal intubation are inadequate among ICU nurses. Allocation of nurses in ICU,training, and updates should be provided for nurses working in ICU by focusing on those nurses who are less experienced. | en_US |
