Abstract
Background: Traumatic hypovolemic shock, caused by severe blood or fluid loss, poses a life-threatening risk due to reduced tissue perfusion. Nurses in emergency settings play a key role in early detection and timely management to improve outcomes. Aim: To explore nurses’ compliance regarding management of patients with traumatic hypovolemic shock. Study Design: A descriptive exploratory research design was employed. Setting: The study was conducted at emergency and trauma units at Qalyup specialized hospital, affiliated to Ministry of Health, Cairo, Egypt. Subjects of the Study: A convenience sample of all available nurses (60) from both genders from the previous mentioned setting was recruited for this study. Tools of Data Collection: Two tools were utilized: (1) Nurses knowledge self-administered questionnaire to assess nurses' knowledge regarding management of patients with traumatic hypovolemic shock; and (2) Nurses’ practice observational checklist to assess nurses' compliance regarding management of patients with traumatic hypovolemic shock, including primary survey and secondary survey. Results: Nearly half of the nurses (48.3%) aged between 40–50 years, with the majority were female (61.7%). Over half had more than five years of experience, and 70% of them had attended training regarding management of patients with traumatic hypovolemic shock. As regard studied nurses’ level of total knowledge, 51.7% demonstrated satisfactory level. Regarding level of total practice, 60% of them had satisfactory compliance regarding management of patients with traumatic hypovolemic shock. Conclusion: The study concluded that the more than half of studied nurses had a satisfactory level of knowledge and practice regarding management of patient with traumatic hypovolemic shock, Furthermore, a statistically significant correlation was found between satisfactory level of nurses' total of knowledge and their practice regarding management of patients with traumatic hypovolemic shock. Recommendations: Providing targeted educational and simulation training, apply structured protocols and checklists and pursue further research on compliance barriers and long-term training effects.
