The Predictors of Perceived Barriers and Facilitators of Applying Sepsis Six Guidelines Among Critical Care Nurses.

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that demands quick and cautious interventions from nurses, as they are the frontline caregivers, so they are essential in recognizing early signs of sepsis, initiating prompt healthcare interventions, and providing comprehensive care to improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to examine the predictors of perceived barriers and facilitators of applying evidence-based sepsis guidelines among critical care nurses.

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a convenience sample of 180 nurses working in critical care settings (ICU, critical care unit, ED, burning unit, dialysis unit) at a university hospital.
