Abstract
Delirium affects more often in patients with serious medical illness. One of the critically ill conditions associated with delirium is stroke. In Malaysia, the incidence of delirium in stroke patients has increased from 10%-25% in 2012 to 13%-48% in 2017 . This study was conducted to understand the factors associated with current practices related to delirium in acute stroke patients among health personnel at Hospital Pengajar Universiti Putra Malaysia (HUPM). Good current practices involve all appropriate considerations and practices in handling delirium in stroke patients; including early preventative management, sufficient staff and screening tools, the perceptions of the practitioners and involvement of multidisciplinary team, adding delirium as basic training curriculum for health personnel and regular assessment for delirium are some crucial factors contributing to good practices (Malaysian Society of Geriatric Medicine Position : Delirium, 2017). The study design chosen was a cross sectional study that was conducted among the health personnel at HUPM to look at the factors that are associated with current practices related to delirium in acute stroke patients. The participants for this study were chosen via simple random sampling. The research instrument used in this study was an online questionnaire and the data was analysed using SPSS v26. There were 47 health personnel out of 209 selected health personnel from HPUPM that responded to this study, and approximately 25 health personnel were unreachable either due to Page 6 unavailable email addresses or invalid email addresses, while the rest were unresponding. The response rate was 22.49%. Overall, 30 (63.8%) respondents show a good level of current practices towards delirium in acute stroke patients. There was no significant association between current practices and sociodemographic factors (age, ethnicity, and gender), attitude, perceptions, and health service organization related to delirium in acute stroke patients. However, there is a significant association between knowledge and current practices related to delirium in acute stroke patients among health personnel at HPUPM. The majority of the participants have good current practices regarding delirium in acute stroke patients among health personnel in HPUPM. These can help the health personnel in acknowledging and reducing the prevalence of delirium in acute stroke patients.
