Assessment Of Nurses' Knowledge Towards Fluid And Electrolyte Administration At Surgical Wards In Hospitals

Abstract

This study aims to assess nurses' knowledge regarding fluid and electrolyte administration at surgical wards in hospitals. Adequate fluid and electrolyte management is crucial for the care of surgical patients to maintain fluid balance, prevent complications, and promote optimal recovery. Assessing nurses' knowledge in this area can identify areas for improvement and guide targeted educational interventions. The study utilized a cross-sectional design, collecting data through a questionnaire specifically developed to assess nurses' knowledge of fluid and electrolyte administration. The sample consisted of nurses working at surgical wards in hospitals. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and inferential tests to examine potential relationships between demographic variables and nurses' knowledge.
