Article Synopsis
- Delirium is a reversible condition that can lead to serious health complications if not properly addressed, and there's a notable gap in nurses' knowledge about it, especially in India.
- A study of 220 ICU nurses in a multispecialty hospital found that a significant portion had only average knowledge regarding various aspects of delirium, including its clinical features and causes.
- The findings highlight the urgent need for educational programs to improve nurses' understanding and management of delirium to enhance patient care.
