Abstract:

Objective To understand the status and training needs of continuous renal replacement therapy （CRRT） for nurses in ICU in tertiary hospitals，so as to provide reference for the implementation of targeted training for ICU nurses. Methods From October to December 2021，241 ICU nurses from six tertiary hospitals in Shanghai were recruited by convenience sampling. A self-designed questionnaire was used and launched through the online platform. Results Among the nurses，80.5% of them participated in CRRT training by clinical practice； 73.0% participated in CRRT training for less than four weeks，56.8% participated in CRRT training without a specific training program，and 27.8% indicated the CRRT training received could meet clinical needs. From high to low in proportion，ICU nurses’ demand for CRRT training content was listed as in order of practical skills，clinical thinking and judgment ability，theoretical knowledge，personal professional literacy and awareness，communication and collaboration ability，and professional development ability，with a scoring rate of 86.6% to 88.6%. For the suggestions，56.0% of nurses expected the training mode of “half of the theoretical courses and half of the practical courses”，77.2% of nurses chose the course arrangement of “alternation of theory course and practice course”，and 75.5% of nurses supported assessment and scoring after training. Conclusion At present，the training program of CRRT for ICU nurses in tertiary hospitals is inadequate，and the training demand of nurses is high. It is urgent to establish a special training system of CRRT for ICU nurses，with optimized training content，training form，and assessment system so as to ensure the scientificity and systematization of training and improve its effectiveness.
