Factors associated with knowledge and practice regarding oxygen administration: A cross-sectional study among registered nurses working in wards and ICUs at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

A substantial proportion of nurses had inadequate knowledge and practices regarding oxygen administration. While none of the assessed factors were found to have a statistical association with practice on oxygen administration, it is important to note their clinical significance. Healthcare institutions can benefit from implementing regular in-service training programs to address these knowledge and skills gaps and ensure that nurses are well-prepared for proper oxygen administration. Additionally, ongoing monitoring and support are essential to help translate improved knowledge into effective clinical practices.
