Pressure ulcers -- Prevention Pressure ulcers -- Nursing Perioperative nursing Operating rooms -- Nursing UCTD Thesis (MNur)--Stellenbosch University, 2026. ENGLISH SUMMARY: Perioperative pressure injuries (PIs) resulting from inadequate safety precautions when positioning a patient in the operating room (OR) for a diagnostic or surgical intervention, may result in temporary or permanent damage to skin, nerves and organs and are considered an adverse event or a critical failure in patient safety. An injury of this nature may increase a patients’ length-of-stay in a care facility from 5-8 days or longer with increased costs, the risk of facility-acquired (nosocomial) infections and litigation. Knowledge and practice (KAP) of PI prevention and management in OR suites can be influenced by the nurse’s level of experience and education. The aim of this study was to determine the nurses’ and anaesthetic technicians’ knowledge and clinical practice for the prevention of PIs in the OR. An online self-administered survey was distributed by Stellenbosch University’s internet technology service called SunSurvey using CheckBox©. The total population of nurses (N=45) and anaesthetic technicians (N=10) employed in the OR department in a Middle Eastern hospital were approached to participate. Reliability and validity were verified during the pilot, with nursing experts and in consultation with a statistician. The Health Research Ethics Committee of the University of Stellenbosch approved the protocol (S20/07/182). Permission was granted from the hospital executives. Informed consent was obtained from the participants online prior to the activation of the survey. The data was analyzed with the guidance of the statistician on IBM Statistical Product and Service Solutions software (SPSS27©) and are presented in frequencies and illustrated in tables. The sample size was small; therefore, the 2-sided Fisher Freeman Holten exact test was used to determine the differences in proportions, and to identify trends. The participants knowledge and clinical practice demonstrated a shortfall in two categories of nurses, including the anaesthetic technicians, which may be attributed to the inconsistency of in-service training or continuing professional development opportunities in the research setting. It is recommended that regular training opportunities are developed to enhance or maintain evidence-based knowledge and clinical skills. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Perioperatiewe drukseer beserings (PDB) word veroorsaak deur onvoldoende veiligheids maatreels wanneer ‘n pasient geposisioneer word in die operasie saal vir diagnostiese of chirurgiese intervensies. Dit mag lei tot tydelike of permanente skade aan die vel, senuwees en organe en word beskou as ‘n nadelige gebeurtenis of kritiese mislukking m.b.t. pasient veiligheid. ‘n Besering van die aard kan ‘n pasient se duur van verblyf in ‘n versorgingseenheid verleng met 5 tot 8 dae of langer, met gepaardgaande kostes, die risiko van fasiliteit verworwe (nosokomiale) infeksies, en litigasie. Kennis en praktiese vaardighede (KAP) van PDB voorkoming en hantering in die operasie saal kan beinvloed word deur die verpleegkundige se vlak van ondervinding en opleiding. Die doel van die studie was om verpleegkundiges en narkose tegnici se kennis en kliniese vaardighede in die voorkoming van PDB in die operasie saal te bepaal. ‘n Gestruktureerde aanlyn vraelys is versprei deur Stellenbosch Universiteit se internet tegnologie genaamd SunSurvey m.b.v Checkbox©. Die totale bevolking verpleegkundiges (N=45) en narkose tegnici (N=10), werksaam in ‘n Midde Oosterse hospitaal se operasie saal is versoek om aan studie deel te neem. Betroubaarheid en geldigheid is verseker deur ‘n voortoets, met verpleegdeskundiges, en in konsultasie met ‘n statistikus. Die Gesondheid Navorsing Etiese Komitee van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch het die protocol goedgekeur (S20/07/182). Toestemming is verleen deur die hospitaal direkteure. Ingeligte toestemming is verkry van die deelnemers aanlyn, voordat hulle die elektroniese vraelys kon aktiveer en beantwoord. Die data is ontleed met hulp van ‘n statistikus deur ʼn IBM Statistiese Produk en Diens Oplossings sagteware (SPSS27©), wat grafies en in frekwensie tabelle geïllustreer word. Die steekproef was klein, derhalwe is die Fisher Freeman Holton presiese toets gebruik om die proporsionele verskille te bepaal en tendense te identifiseer. Tekortkominge in die deelnemers se kennis en kliniese praktyk is uitgewys in twee aspekte van verpleegkunde sowel as narkose tegnici. Dit word toegeskryf aan die inkonsekwentheid van indiensopleidings kursusse of voortdurende opleiding in die navorsingsopset. Daar word aanbeveel dat gereelde opleidingsgeleenthede geskep moet word om bewys-gebaseerde kennis en kliniese vaardighede op te skerp of volhoubaar te maak.
