Self-reported practices of sepsis and Septic Shock (SS) among healthcare providers were rarely discussed in the literature. The aim of the study was to describe the level of adherence among nurses and physicians to the self-reported practices of sepsis and SS treatment in six Intensive Care Units (ICU) of two tertiary hospitals in Jordan. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. A questionnaire was administered to 119 nurses and physicians. Descriptive statistics were used to describe sample characteristics and practices of sepsis treatment. The results showed that most nurses and physicians reported they “often” or “always” adhere to these practices. However, there was insufficient adherence to using a prone position in patients with sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome. Moreover, there was insufficient practice of testing serum lactate levels within one hour of diagnosing patients. Nurses’ and physicians’ self-reported adherence to sepsis and SS treatment is satisfactory, but further improvement is required. |
