- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate nurses' knowledge regarding febrile neutropenia in pediatric patients diagnosed with malignant neoplasia. Method: Cross-sectional and descriptive study with a quantitative approach, carried out in two reference hospitals in pediatric oncology in Recife/PE. The sample included 20 nurses. The data were collected between September and October 2017, through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire, analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and presented with descriptive statistics resources. Results: It was found that 100% (n=20) of the sample was composed of females, 60% (n=12) had an age range of 30-39 years-old. Regarding knowledge about febrile neutropenia, 50% (n=10) participated in training courses on the topic, 25% (n=5) were correct between 50-60% of the applied questions and only 5% (n=1) got the questionnaire 100% correct. Conclusion: there was a high level of fragility in the nurses' knowledge about febrile neutropenia, showing that the search for knowledge is fundamental so that patients are better assisted and receive adequate and specialized treatment.
