      ab: Purpose This study aimed to describe nurses' knowledge and practices toward patients with acute or chronic confusion. Design and Methods A cross-sectional design was used, and 249 nurses engaged in clinical practice fulfilled an online self-report questionnaire. Findings Tools for diagnosing acute confusion/delirium are never used by 57.80% of the nurses. Between 80% and 81% of nursing interventions involve managing patients' physical environment and between 62% and 71% deal with managing communication. Theoretical training in the use of tools for assessing and intervening in cases of confusion was significantly associated with nurses' knowledge and practices. Practice Implications These results suggest the need for increased investment in nurses' training.
