Abstract

Background: Oxygen is one of the most essential elements for life, so nurse must be familiar for its administration and its potential hazards. Oxygen therapy is useful when it is performed with appropriate dosage, but when it is used on the other way side, it has substantial adverse side effects secondary to its beneficial characteristics. The purpose of the study is to explore the outcome of structured training about oxygen therapy on the nurses' knowledge and attitude. Method: Quantitative one group pre-post study design was applied using self-administered questionnaire. Data collection was conducted at pre-training, immediate after training & three months late. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the data by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, Version 26) software. Result: The overall average score of knowledge of the nurses during the pre-intervention period was 45%. The level of knowledge of nurses at immediate post intervention increased in all the knowledge items with an overall score of 77% and declined slightly after three months to 62%. The average attitude score of the nurses during the pre-intervention period was 71.6%, and at the immediate post intervention time was increased to 80.2%then after three months it reached to 80.5 %. The result displayed that knowledge scores were higher at immediate post intervention than pre-intervention (p<0.001), after 3-months, than pre-intervention (p<0.001), and immediate post intervention than 3 months later (p<0.001). The tendency of knowledge scores about oxygen therapy was perceived to be quadratic across the three time periods (p<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the outcomes of this study, most of the nurses had an acceptable knowledge and attitude toward oxygen administration after applying teaching intervention.
