“…During observation researcher discovered there is a shortage in the amount of the device which lead the nurses to forget using it when it is available. This result concurs with Hadley & Roques (2007) who reported that a moderate standard of practice among nurses may be associated with certain factors such as the shortage of nursing staff and the limited time for patient care [11]. Several studies showed that a lack of PU-prevention equipment is an obstacle to this practice [14], [25].…”

Prevention of pressure ulcers is an indicator of quality of care. Nursing care has a major effect on pressure ulcer development and prevention. Hence, many people believe that most pressure ulcers are preventable if the appropriate interventions are implemented. The study aimed to assess factors affecting nursing compliance in preventing pressure ulcer. Descriptive correlation design was used which is a type of non-experimental design to collect data from medical, surgical units and the critical cardiac unit at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah city. Purposive sampling technique was carried out to select 113 nurses and 113 patients. Data were collected by three tools, tool 1 is a structured questionnaire divided into 2 parts, included demographic data and list of barriers facing nurses in preventing pressure ulcer, tool 2 is an observational checklist and tool 3 is the Waterlow pressure ulcer risk assessment tool. The study concluded that there is significant correlation between barriers and nursing compliance in prevention pressure ulcer. Heavy workload/staff shortage is considered as the most barriers facing nurses' compliance regarding prevention pressure ulcer. The study recommended that the managers should review nurses' workload which the findings of this study have shown to be a major barrier in the priority given to the prevention of pressure ulcers.

“…Nurses gain practical knowledge through their daily work where the ratio of nurses to patients is considered high. 11,12 Therefore, they actually have little or no time to discuss with doctors for gaining more knowledge. 13 Information about standard nursing practice guidelines in the prevention of DFU that can be used as a guide in nursing practice is also lacking.…”

Diabetic foot ulcer is a preventable complication of diabetes. Nurses must have knowledge related to this condition so that education can be given to patients. This study aims to examine the level of nurses' knowledge regarding prevention and management of diabetic foot ulcer in Bangladesh. A survey involved 218 nurses working at a national, specialized, and well-established institute of diabetic care of Bangladesh. The Nurses' Knowledge Regarding Prevention and Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcer Questionnaire (NKPM-DFUQ) comprising of 40 questions with 20 true/false questions and 20 multiple choice questions was used. It was content validated and tested for internal consistency and stability yielding acceptable levels of reliability. The findings revealed that nurses had very low level of knowledge (M=52.60%, SD=7.86%). The content areas most nurses did not have knowledge were detecting loss of protective sensation of the feet, caring of callus formation, encouraging patients to have activity of daily living in order to self-manage, setting a goal for prevention of amputation, and giving advice to patients that causes of diabetes is the least important element in diabetic foot care program. The findings are beneficial for establishing training courses. Consequently, quality of care for patients with diabetes will be improved.
