Abstract

Objective: The study was performed to determine knowledge and practices of nurses working at a university hospital related to the use of physical restraints. Method: The sample of this cross-sectional descriptive study consisted of 160 nurses who worked at a university hospital. The data were collected through socio-demographic characteristics survey and Opinion and Practices Form for the Physical Restraints, and evaluated as mean and percentage distribution. Results: Mean age of the nurses was 29.98±5.91 years. The nurses stated that they applied physical restraints due to following reasons: to prevent the removal of the tubes connected to the patient by the patient him/herself (82.5%), to prevent the patient from falling out of the bed (75.6%). Of the nurses, 65.0% obtained informed consent either from the patient or his/her relatives before applying a physical restraint, 15.6% applied the physical restraint upon the physician’s order, and 58.1% recorded the type of the physical restraint, the reason for using physical restraint, application time, and nursing interventions on the nurses’ observation form. It was determined that the vast majority of the nurses did not implement effective alternative methods and the knowledge of the nurses about the complications of using physical restraints was lacking. Conclusion: It can be said that a great majority of the nurses used physical restraints in their clinics, did not obtain the physician’s approval to use physical restraints, and lacked necessary knowledge about the complications of using physical restraints.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan hemşirelerin fiziksel kısıtlamaya ilişkin bilgi ve uygulamalarını saptamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipteki çalışmanın örneklemini, bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan 160 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Veriler sosyodemografik özellikler ve Fiziksel Kısıtlamaya Yönelik Görüş ve Uygulama Formu ile toplanmış, ortalama ve yüzdelik dağılım ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 29.98±5.91’dir. Hemşirelerin %82.5’i hastaya bağlı olan tüplerin hasta tarafından çıkarılmasını önlemek, %75.6’sı hastanın yataktan düşmesini önlemek amacıyla fiziksel kısıtlama uyguladığını belirtmiştir. Hemşirelerin %65.0’ı fiziksel kısıtlama öncesi hasta ya da hasta yakınından bilgilendirilmiş onam aldığını, %15.6’sı ise bu uygulamayı hekim istemi ile gerçekleştirdiğini, %58.1’i hemşire gözlem formuna kısıtlamanın türünü, kullanma nedenini, uygulanma saatini ve hemşirelik girişimlerini kayıt ettiğini ifade etmiştir. Hemşirelerin büyük çoğunluğunun etkin alternatif yöntemleri uygulamadığı, hemşirelerin fiziksel kısıtlamanın komplikasyonlarını bilme oranlarının düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin büyük bir kısmının kliniklerinde fiziksel kısıtlamayı uyguladıkları, uygulamaya karar verirken hekim istemi almadıkları ve fiziksel kısıtlamaya ilişkin komplikasyonları bilme oranlarının düşük olduğu söylenebilir.
