Abstract：
It is important to study the awareness of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) among neonatal care nurses in hospitals. Unfortunately, there is a lack of studies conducted among nurses on this subject in Palestine. Thus, this study purposed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward ROP among neonatal intensive care nurses in Palestine. A cross-sectional was used to conduct this study. A convenience sampling method was utilized to recruit 289 neonate intensive care nurses working in private and governmental hospitals. The findings showed that around 48.0% of the nurses had low knowledge about preventing ROP. Most of the nurses (78%) reported a neutral attitude toward preventing ROP. Moreover, overall nurses\' practices regarding ROP were fair (57.1%). There was a difference in practices regarding ROP according to the health sector (P < .05), in which the private sector had better practices compared to the governmental sector. Additionally, there was a significant difference in knowledge regarding ROP according to educational level (P < .05). Also, a significant difference was found in knowledge and practices regarding ROP according to nurses\' experience. Attitudes and practices were the main significant predictors of knowledge (B = 0.153, P < .05; B = 0.172, P < .05, respectively). Knowledge and practices were the main predictors of attitudes (B = 0.126, P < .05; B = 469, P < .001), respectively. Knowledge, attitudes, and experience in neonate intensive care nurses were the main significant predictors of practices (B = 0.135, P < .05; B = 0.449, P < .001; B = 0.224, P < .05, respectively). It is necessary to develop an educational program and competency-based training programs for neonate intensive care nurses about ROP and implement preventive strategies.
摘要：
研究医院新生儿护理护士对早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）的认识很重要。不幸的是,在巴勒斯坦护士中缺乏关于这一主题的研究。因此，这项研究旨在评估知识，态度，以及巴勒斯坦新生儿重症监护护士对ROP的做法。使用横截面进行本研究。采用便利抽样的方法招募了289名在私立和政府医院工作的新生儿重症监护护士。结果显示，约有48.0％的护士对预防ROP的知识水平较低。大多数护士（78％）对预防ROP持中立态度。此外，总体护士关于ROP的实践是公平的(57.1%).根据卫生部门的不同，关于ROP的实践存在差异(P<0.05)，与政府部门相比，私营部门有更好的做法。此外,不同文化程度的ROP知识差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。此外，根据护士的经验,关于ROP的知识和实践存在显著差异.态度和实践是知识的主要重要预测因素（分别为B=0.153，P<0.05；B=0.172，P<0.05）。知识和实践是态度的主要预测因素(B=0.126,P<.05;B=469,P<.001),分别。知识,态度，和新生儿重症监护护士的经验是实践的主要重要预测因素(分别为B=0.135,P<.05;B=0.449,P<.001;B=0.224,P<.05)。有必要为新生儿重症监护护士制定有关ROP的教育计划和基于能力的培训计划，并实施预防策略。
