A Review of Nurses’ Perceptions of Traumatic Haemorrhagic Shock Management in Emergency Nursing ()
ABSTRACT
Haemorrhagic
shock (HS) is a subset of hypovolaemic shock in which there is minimal to
massive loss of blood either internally or externally in trauma or injured
patients. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) affirm that injuries
account for over 5 million fatalities globally every year, and by 2030, injury
mortality is predicted to rise severely. Public health research typically uses
the KAP models, which may be divided into three parts: acquiring accurate
knowledge, forming an attitude, and adopting behavior, to analyze people’s
health behaviors and explain changes in them. This review is about the nurses’
perspectives of the concept of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) Model of
hemorrhagic shock in trauma patients and assesses clinical practice tools used by nurses to keep an eye on
patients who have the condition. Nurses’ knowledge of indications of shock is
either high or very high. The knowledge of nurses was related to their training
before working in accident and
emergency units. The nurses’ attitude is considered significant, commendable, appropriate, and pertinent to the provision of
care for a patient experiencing hemorrhagic shock. And the nurse’s practice of
early patient identification, prompt and continuous monitoring, control of the
bleeding source, maintenance of hemostasis, and the correction of significant
blood loss that can occur quickly to cause death, are the strengths of
management.
