Abstract

|
|
Objectives: To investigate the performance of oral nursing in intensive care units after COVID-19 and identify the factors affecting it and to gather data for preparing a system to improve the oral nursing environment.
Methods: From April 1 to May 31, 2023, online self-completed questionnaires were filled out by nurses working in intensive care units at higher hospital across South Korea.
Results: A significant correlation was found between the perception of poor oral care in seriously ill patients and the demand for oral management education in serious patients.
Conclusions: To provide effective oral care for critically ill patients, oral care implementation and education should be
strengthened in cooperation with oral experts, and a system for heightening the importance and improving the environment of oral care in intensive care units is needed.
