[ASSESSMENT OF THE KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES OF NURSES ON THE SKIN CONDITION AND TREATMENT OF DAMAGE].
Practical experience and numerous studies have shown that, after finishing their studies nursing graduates are not sure
in their independent assessment and treatment of wounds. It appears that nursing education lacks narrowly specialized
educational content in this area, practical skills and connection between graduates and experts who follow the standards
and guidelines in the area of wound healing. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge through tests and attitudes
of nurses/nursing graduates on the condition of the skin and damage treatment. In addition, the study was also aimed at
learning about possible guidelines for the future content of the nursing curriculum studies in Croatia. The study was conducted
on a sample of 71 students (six (8.5%) male and 65 (91.5%) female of Nursing Studies at University North. The
subjects voluntarily and anonymously completed the survey electronically. A semi-structured standardized questionnaire was
used, “Knowledge test about the basis of pressure ulcers in geriatric patients”, designed by Dr Andrija Štampar Department
of Health Gerontology, Reference Center for Health Care of the Elderly of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia.
The test administered to the sample of students of nursing, mostly aged 18-25 (64.8%) showed correct answers to 12
questions asked, in a range of 17.9% to 100% (median 60.6%, SD 24.1, Q1 53.8%, Q3 81%). Answers to question 13
(daily work with patients) revealed that 39.4% of students knew and often used modern approach to the prevention and
treatment of pressure ulcers; the same percentage of students rarely used modern method of prevention and treatment of
pressure ulcers, 26.8% were not familiar with the issue, while 2.8% were not interested in it. As for question 14 (given the
existing contents on the treatment of pressure ulcers in the educational program for students of nursing), 47.9% of study
subjects believed they needed more practical skills in treating pressure ulcers, 45.1% considered it necessary to introduce
more contents on the treatment of pressure ulcers in regular courses, while 8.5% believed it was not necessary to introduce
additional contents because there was enough knowledge on wound treatment. The results indicated that there was a
relatively satisfactory partial knowledge to assess skin condition, prevention measures and treatment of pressure ulcers in
the elderly, but also that more practical skills were needed in the treatment and modern dressing application, which can be
considered as guidelines for future educational contents in the nursing studies. Based on the simple and standardized survey
in a relatively broad sample of students of Nursing Studies at University North, student knowledge on the prevention and
treatment of pressure ulcers with modern methods can be well assessed. Scarce practical knowledge in the field of modern
pressure ulcer treatment, the lack of professional literature revision in terms of modern guidelines and theories, as well as
poor collaboration of scientific educational and health institutions are the key problems of insufficient knowledge of nursing
graduates in daily work of treating chronic wounds. Student insecurity related to prevention and therapy in modern treatment
of pressure ulcers show a possible direction for future educational contents of nursing studies. Additional similar studies are
warranted in order to get a more detailed insight into assessment of practical and theoretical knowledge of graduates about
modern care of patients with chronic wounds.
