Abstract
Aim: To investigate the knowledge and practice of physical restraints (PR) among Jordanian intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. Design: A descriptive, observational design was used. Methods: A convenience sampling was used to recruit participants. We examined the knowledge of PR in 301 nurses (knowledge check) and the real-time practice of PR in 81 nurses (direct observation) in ICU. A knowledge questionnaire was used to collect data on knowledge about PR use, and data on their practice of PR were observed and documented using an observation checklist. Results: The mean scores of nurses' knowledge and practices were 61.5 (SD = 12.1) and 57.4 (SD = 9.7), respectively. More than half of nurses had poor knowledge of PR use and incorrect practice of implementing PR (51.5% and 60.5%, respectively). Results indicated a positive correlation between nurses' knowledge and their use of PR.
