Abstract and Introduction Abstract Background: All clinical alarms require nurses to respond even if an intervention is not needed. Nurses are expected to respond appropriately to each alarm and establish priorities among their care practices accordingly. This study was conducted to examine the number and types of clinical device alarms used in intensive care units, the duration of their activation, and nurses' degree of sensitivity to them.
Aims and objectives To examine the hand hygiene beliefs and practices of Turkish nursing students and the effectiveness of their handwashing. Background Handwashing is the most important part of preventing cross‐infection, but there is a considerable amount of evidence that shows that the handwashing technique of nurses and nursing students is not always very effective. Design/Methods This research was carried out in two stages and is type of descriptive, analytical and observational.
To explore the effect of immobility on sacral tissue oxygen saturation in patients lying on a supporting surface in supine position. Guidelines in regard to preventing pressure ulcers recommend that patients lying on a standard bed should change their positions every 2 hr and that patients on a supporting surface should change their positions every 4 hr. But there is no strong evidence that justifies this practice.
