Purpose: This research aimed to identify levels of nurses' perception and practice of fluid intake and output (I & O) measurement and to explore the relationship between perception and practice of it.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional survey design, 195 nurses who practiced fluid I & O measurement were recruited from a general hospital. Nurses who agreed to participate in this study completed a structured study questionnaire to assess their levels of perception and practice of fluid I & O measurement.
Results: A level of perception of I & O measurement was high (3.46 points out of 5), and scores for 3 subdomains of I & O (importance, accuracy, and efficacy) were evenly high. The level of practice of I & O was fairly high (3.76 points out of 5). Perception and practice of I & O were highly correlated (r=.73, p<.001).
Conclusion: Nurses seem to have higher levels of perception and do practice fluid I & O measurement correctly. In order to have reliable and valid I & O measures, nurses need to have continuous education on I & O measurement based on clinical guideline to utilize it as an invaluable clinical instrument.
