There was a significant correlation between hospital nurses’ DVTrelated knowledge and compliance (r=.309, p=.000). The factors for predicting hospital nurses’ DVT-related compliance included knowledge of treatment and care areas, the subcategories of DVT knowledge (=.214), knowledge of the area of risk factors (=.105), whether to perform DVT prevention and treatment based on protocols (=.193), the existence of DVT protocols (=.168) and the degree of interest in DVT (=.102) and the total explanatory power of these was 21.3%.
Conclusion:To improve compliance on preventing DVT effectively, it is necessary to improve nurses’ DVT-related knowledge and interest in DVT through appropriate education. And, it is necessary to develop standardized protocols and guidelines.
