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 identify nurses' knowledge concerning developmental dysplasia of the hip. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was implemented at the hospitals of Al-Basrah city, to determine the level of knowledge among nurses about the developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in Al-Basrah hospitals from 30th October 2023 to the 13th of March 2024. Non-probability (convenience) sample consists of (150) nurses from five government hospitals (Al-Sader Teaching Hospital, Al-Basrah Teaching Hospital, Al-Mawani Teaching Hospital, Al-Faiha Teaching Hospital, and Al-Basrah Hospital for Gynecology and Pediatric) in Al-Basrah city. A self-reported questionnaire was developed by the researchers after extensive reading of the previous literature. 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 of the nurses have weak knowledge. Conclusions: More than half of nurses have good knowledge concerning developmental dysplasia of the hip.
