| description | Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a common thrombotic problem that usually
affecting patient and it can lead to potentially life-threatening complication. The general
objective of the study was to assess the level of knowledge on DVT and prevention
practice among nurses in Hospital USM. A cross sectional study was conducted on 62
respondents recruited. A validated questionnaire was given to all respondent that fit with
inclusion criteria. Then, the data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSS) software version 24.0. Descriptive statistic was used to describe the
socio-demographic characteristic, level of knowledge on DVT and prevention practice
among nurses in Hospital USM. Pearson’s Chi Square analyses were used to determine
the association between socio-demographic data with level of knowledge on DVT and
prevention practice among nurses in Hospital USM. 67.7% of participant had moderate
level of knowledge on DVT, while 22.6% had low level and 9.7% had high level
respectively. Then, majority of them had high level of practice which is 93.5%. This study
also shown that there is no association between level of knowledge and level of prevention
practice on DVT. It also revealed that there is no significant association between level of
knowledge and prevention practice with sociodemographic data (years of working
experience in hospital and previous attending workshop) on DVT among staff nurses in
Hospital USM. Thus, increasing the knowledge and practice among nurses will prevent
the complication of DVT to occur. |
