| Abstract | ||
| Background: The phrase "developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)" describes a range of hip joint anatomical anomalies in which there is an improper interaction between the femoral head and the acetabulum. Due to capsular laxity and mechanical instability, this condition of aberrant growth causes hip dysplasia, subluxation, and sometimes dislocation. Objectives: To assess nurses' knowledge concerning developmental dysplasia of the hip. Methods: In Al-Basrah City's hospitals, descriptive cross-sectional research was conducted, to determine the level of knowledge among nurses about the developmental dysplasia of the hip in Al-Basrah Teaching Hospitals from 30th October 2023 to the 13th of March 2024. Non-probability (convenience) sample consists of (150) nurses from five Teaching Hospitals (Al-Sader Teaching Hospital, Al-Basrah Teaching Hospital, Al-Mawani Teaching Hospital, Al-Faihaa Teaching Hospital, and Al-Basrah Hospital for Gynecology and Pediatric). Following a thorough review of the prior research, the researchers created a selfreported questionnaire. Version 26 of the SPSS program was used for data analysis. Results: The results of this study show more than half of nurses have good knowledge concerning developmental dysplasia of the hip (53.4%), less than half of nurses have medium knowledge (46.6%), and none have weak knowledge. Conclusions: More than half of the nurses have good knowledge regarding developmental dysplasia of the hip | ||
