State of Knowledge Among Nurses Regarding the Screening for Orthostatic Hypotension in Elderly Individuals in Acute Geriatric Medicine and Medical and Rehabilitation Services (HTO-IDE)
Orthostatic hypotension is a common geriatric syndrome associated with an increased risk of falls, syncope, functional decline and mortality in older adults. Current European recommendations provide standardized procedures for its detection, including blood pressure measurements in the supine and standing positions at specific time intervals.
Despite these recommendations, variability in clinical practice and potential gaps in healthcare professionals' knowledge may limit effective screening. The aim of this study is to assess nurses' knowledge and practices regarding orthostatic hypotension screening within the geriatric department of Hôpital NOVO.
The study hypothesis is that nurses' knowledge and practices regarding orthostatic hypotension screening are heterogeneous and may differ from current recommendations.

詳細な説明
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure of at least 20 mmHg and/or a decrease in diastolic blood pressure of at least 10 mmHg occurring within three minutes of standing. It is highly prevalent among older adults and is associated with adverse outcomes including falls, syncope, hospitalization, loss of autonomy and increased mortality.
Recent recommendations from the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) emphasize the importance of systematic screening for orthostatic hypotension in older adults and other at-risk populations. These recommendations also describe standardized measurement procedures, including blood pressure assessment after a period of rest in the supine position followed by measurements after standing at defined time points.
Although these recommendations are available, several studies suggest that orthostatic hypotension remains underdiagnosed in routine clinical practice. Inadequate knowledge of diagnostic criteria, inconsistent measurement techniques and variability in screening indications may contribute to this under-recognition.
The present study is a monocentric observational study conducted within the geriatric department of Hôpital NOVO. It aims to describe nurses' knowledge and self-reported practices regarding orthostatic hypotension screening.
Data will be collected through an anonymous self-administered questionnaire developed from current recommendations. The questionnaire explores three domains: theoretical knowledge of orthostatic hypotension, practical aspects of blood pressure measurement, and clinical situations prompting screening.
The results of this study will help identify potential knowledge gaps and areas for improvement in clinical practice. Findings may support the development of targeted educational interventions, standardized protocols and quality improvement initiatives to enhance the detection of orthostatic hypotension in older adults.

Assessment of the knowledge level of nurses working in geriatrics regarding orthostatic hypotension
時間枠：Through study completion, an average of 1 year
|
The nurses' level of knowledge will be assessed using a questionnaire which they will complete either in person or online via the secure Microsoft Forms platform. This questionnaire consists of 3 parts: - Definition of orthostatic hypotension (Question 2.1) - Measurement methods (Question 3) - Diagnostic criteria (Questions 2.2 and 2.3) |
