Background & aim: Nursing in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) requires constant vigilance, close monitoring, and rapid interventions in order to provide appropriate care and intervention by collecting complete and timely information from the patient and to prevent preventable negative outcomes. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the vigilance of nurses in caring for patients in ICUs.
Methods: The present study was a descriptive-analytical type that was conducted with a cross-sectional method with the participation of 203 ICU nurses who were selected by census method. Data were collected using a demographic information form and the Nurses' Vigilance Standard (NVS) questionnaire with a five-choice Likert response and a total score range of 40-200.
Results: The mean total vigilance score of ICU nurses was 147.91 ± 15.73. Nurses' alertness was statistically significantly different based on gender, age group, work experience, average working hours per month, shift type, interest in nursing profession, history of written warning from the medical center, and history of reprimand from the medical center (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Nurses vigilance was higher than the expected average. However, implementing effective corrective measures to improve nurses' alertness in patient care is essential to provide better quality care to patients and prevent complications.
