Abstract | Introduction: Taking care of patients' eyes is an important nursing skill. Nurses must be capable of providing a standard assessment of the eye and vision as well as necessary care such as eye cleaning. Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses typically focus on life-threatening issues while giving little attention to other serious issues. The purpose of this study was to assess predictors of nurses' practice of eye care for patients in ICUs in the West Bank. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with all ICU nurses from West Bank hospitals. The researchers developed a self-administered questionnaire to collect data. Results: One hundred and fifty-two nurses participated in this study. The findings revealed that the mean age of nurses was 31.2 ( Conclusion: The study confirmed that the nurses had poor knowledge and inadequate practice of eye care for patients in the ICU. Also, the study confirmed that a nurse's knowledge of patients' eye care in the ICU and an eye care protocol or policy for unconscious patients were significant predictors of practice. |
