OBJECTIVES
Kidney transplantation is a surgical procedure and the best treatment choice for end-stage renal disease. This study aims to assess nurses’ level of knowledge regarding post-operative care of patients with kidney transplantation.
METHODOLOGY
This descriptive cross-sectional was carried out in Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC) and Rehman Medical Institute (RMI) Peshawar from February 2019 to May 2019. These are tertiary care hospitals; the former is a public sector hospital while the latter is a private sector hospital. A convenient sampling technique was followed and included 109 participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire of 25 items related to the care of post-renal transplantation on a Likert Scale. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for demographic variables. The Mean and standard deviation were calculated for knowledge among nurses. A Chi-square test was applied to find an association between demographic variables and level of knowledge. Data were analyzed with SPSS 20.
RESULTS
Of the total number of participants 109, 23 (26.6%) were females, and 77 (73.3%) were male. The mean score of knowledge was 11.59±3.391 out of 25. Of the participants, 62(56.9%) fell into the poor score, and the average score was awarded by 44 (40.4%), while 3 participants (2.8%) scored good knowledge.
CONCLUSION
The nurses demonstrate poor knowledge regarding post-operative care of patients with kidney transplantation. Education and experience play an essential role in enhancing the education of nursing staff working in kidney transplantation units. Formal training needs to be imparted to provide quality care to renal transplantation patients.
