Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate hospital nurses’ delirium screening for postoperative delirium, delirium knowledge, and delirium care using case scenarios at a tertiary hospital in Seoul.
Methods: A total of 235 nurses working at surgical units participated in this questionnaire-based study. Five cases scenarios were developed based on diagnosed postoperative delirium cases. Data were collected from April 1 to May 1, 2021.
Results: The delirium screening score was 4.20±1.17 out of 5. The delirium knowledge score was 34.35±4.57 out of 47. The delirium care score was 67.61±9.26 out of 92. The correlation between the delirium screening and delirium knowledge was statistically significant(r=.18, p=.005). The correlation between the delirium knowledge and delirium care was statistically significant(r=.25, p<.001).
Conclusion: The findings showed that the continuing educations of delirium for hospital nurses and the development of a delirium education programs were important to improve delirium screening and care.
