Prevalence of Incontinence‐Associated Dermatitis and Evaluation of Nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices in Intensive Care Units

This study highlights the high prevalence of IAD in ICUs and underscores the need for improved nursing practices in its prevention and management. Although nurses' knowledge and attitudes did not significantly impact IAD prevalence, their practices were closely linked to its occurrence. These findings suggest that enhancing practical skills through targeted education and standardised protocols could reduce IAD prevalence.

Abstract

This study highlights the high prevalence of IAD in ICUs and underscores the need for improved nursing practices in its prevention and management. Although nurses' knowledge and attitudes did not significantly impact IAD prevalence, their practices were closely linked to its occurrence. These findings suggest that enhancing practical skills through targeted education and standardised protocols could reduce IAD prevalence.
