Oxygen therapy is commonly used in the emergency and critical cases which is the first line treatment in many critical conditions. Oxygen therapy is a medical treatment prescribed mainly for hypoxic patients, which provides oxygen at higher concentrations than that found in atmosphere (&gt;21%). Oxygen administering depends on the needs of the patients’ conditions and in some cases medical treatment. The present study aims to assess the level of awareness on oxygen therapy among nurses and examine the association between level of knowledge, attitude and selected socio-demographic variables. Materials and Methods . A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. A non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to select 125 samples. The data were collected for 6 weeks using a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) was used for quantitative data analysis and inferential statistics (chi-square) were used to find out the association between level of knowledge, attitude and selected socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. Results and Discussion . The study revealed that 74.4% of the nurses had unsatisfactory level of knowledge, 20% had average knowledge and 5.6% had satisfactory level of knowledge regarding oxygen therapy. A significant association was found between the knowledge level and age, educational status and experience of the respondents (p=0.001, 0.000, 0.016). Conclusion . The study concluded that the level of knowledge among nurses regarding oxygen therapy has lower than expected and is unsatisfactory. The results of the study can provide a framework for the healthcare policymakers to develop and implement educational programs on oxygen therapy for nurses in hospital setting.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Актуальность . Кислородная терапия обычно используется в неотложных и критических случаях и является лечением первой линии во многих критических состояниях. Кислородная терапия - лечение, назначаемое в основном пациентам с гипоксией, при котором подается кислород в концентрации более высокой, чем в атмосфере (&gt; 21 %). Подача кислорода зависит от состояния пациента и, в некоторых случаях, от лечения. Настоящее исследование направлено на оценку уровня осведомленности медсестер о кислородной терапии и изучение связи между уровнем знаний и социально-демографическими данными. Материалы и методы . Был использован количественный описательный дизайн исследования. Для отбора 125 образцов использовалась невероятностная целенаправленная выборка. Данные были собраны в течение 6 недель с использованием анкеты для самостоятельного заполнения. Описательная статистика (частота, процент, среднее значение, стандартное отклонение) использовалась для количественного анализа данных, а статистические данные (хи-квадрат) использовались для выяснения связи между уровнем знаний, отношением и выбранными социально-демографическими характеристиками респондентов. Результаты и обсуждение. Исследование показало, что 74,4 % медсестер имели неудовлетворительный уровень знаний, 20 % имели средний уровень знаний и 5,6 % имели удовлетворительный уровень знаний о кислородной терапии. Была обнаружена значимая связь между уровнем знаний и возрастом, образовательным статусом и опытом респондентов (p = 0,001, 0,000, 0,016). Выводы . В результате исследования установлено, что уровень знаний медсестер относительно кислородной терапии ниже, чем ожидалось, и является неудовлетворительным. Результаты исследования могут послужить основой для разработки и реализации образовательных программ по кислородной терапии для медсестер в больницах.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>oxygen therapy</kwd><kwd>hypoxia</kwd><kwd>nurses</kwd><kwd>knowledge</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>кислородная терапия</kwd><kwd>гипоксия</kwd><kwd>медсестры</kwd><kwd>образование</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Victor K, Joshua O, Benditt, Robert A, Wise and Amir S.
