| Summary: | Blood transfusion is a common practice in the hospital setting in which the role of nursing is essential, specific knowledge being necessary to avoid risks and complications. The aim of this work was to study the knowledge and management on blood products with a group of nurses on blood products. To do this, we conducted a cross-sectional study using a previously validated questionnaire with 25 items and two possible answers to each question. The questionnaire included questions on pre and post transfusion knowledge as well as several actions to take during the technique in the case of complications. The average age of the sample was 45.23 years, with 45% o them men. 44.4% worked in rotating shifts, 68.3% had temporary contracts and 22.8% had specific training in blood products. A descriptive analysis of the data was performed, and also a bivariate analysis that found significant differences based on gender, type of contract, professional experience and specific training. In general, knowledge of blood products is acceptable, although there are some shortcomings that should be remedied. |
