Abstract

This study assesses the knowledge and practices of emergency department nurses regarding the care of open fractures, highlighting significant disparities in competence. Conducted across five hospitals, the descriptive, cross-sectional survey included 103 nurses, analyzed using SPSS with results expressed through frequencies, percentages, and Chi-squared tests. Findings reveal that 42.7% of nurses, predominantly females, lack adequate knowledge and care skills, whereas 57.3%, mostly males, are proficient. The study suggests an urgent need for focused training programs to standardize and elevate emergency care for open fractures, aiming to improve patient outcomes through enhanced nursing education. Highlights: Discrepancy in Knowledge: Significant variations in the knowledge and care practices for open fractures among emergency nurses, with nearly 43% lacking sufficient skills. Gender Differences: A notable gender-based disparity in knowledge, with a higher proficiency observed among male nurses compared to female nurses. Need for Training: The urgent requirement for specialized training programs to address gaps and improve overall patient care in emergency situations. Keywords: Open Fractures, Emergency Nursing, Knowledge Gap, Nurse Training, Patient Outcomes

Abstract

This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of musculoskeletal complaints among health workers in clinical wards, examining the relationship between these complaints and various work-related and personal variables. Conducted between December 2022 and April 2023, this descriptive study utilized a non-probability, voluntary sample of 100 health workers. Results indicated that 26% of participants reported lower back pain, 49% arm or neck complaints, 44% regular back pain, and 51% leg complaints. Key risk factors included extended work hours without breaks (67%), time pressure (33%), lifting (45%), and stooping (54%). Despite high medium-risk exposure (85%), no participants reported high-risk levels. This study highlights the significant burden of WMSDs among clinical healthcare workers and underscores the need for interventions to reduce duce these risks and improve occupational health. Highlight: Prevalence: A significant portion of healthcare workers reported musculoskeletal complaints, with 51% experiencing leg pain and 49% arm or neck pain. Risk Factors: Key risk factors identified include prolonged work hours without breaks (67%), time pressure (33%), lifting (45%), and stooping (54%). Implications: The study underscores the need for targeted interventions to mitigate WMSDs and improve the occupational health of clinical healthcare workers. Keywords: Musculoskeletal Disorders, Healthcare Workers, Risk Factors, Occupational Health, Clinical Wards
