20244 citationsOpen accessDebre Markos University

Abstract

The study reveals that fewer than half of the nurses working in adult intensive care units in public hospitals in the Amhara region provide adequate eye care, despite a strong intention to do so. Key factors influencing eye care practices include monthly salary, knowledge level, educational qualifications, and the availability of necessary equipment. To improve eye care delivery, it is essential for relevant authorities to implement targeted training and educational initiatives for nurses, thereby enhancing their skills and knowledge in eye care practices.
