Abstract

Approximately 40% and 46% of nurses in this study had poor knowledge and practice of supplemental oxygen therapy. This figure is shocking and shows a large gap in the knowledge and practice of supplemental oxygen therapy that requires urgent action. Educational status, professional experience and level of knowledge were found to be associated with good knowledge and professional experience with good practice in relation to supplemental oxygen therapy.
