Nurses' knowledge of central venous catheter-related infection (CVC-RI) prevention guidelines is poor, indicating that nurses do not receive proper education about these guidelines.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational course that aimed to improve nurses' knowledge about CVC-RI prevention guidelines.
A sample of 131 nurses were randomly assigned to the experimental group (received an educational course) or control group (received no education). Pre-Post data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included a 23-item knowledge assessment.
In the pre-test, all participants demonstrated poor knowledge, with mean scores of 8.2 (standard deviation = 3.6). After completion of the course, knowledge was significantly improved in the experimental group, whereas the control group showed no change ((106,3) = 25.1, = 0.00).
An educational course on CVC-RI prevention guidelines had an encouraging effect. Decision makers are recommended to implement such courses in their settings to improve nurses' competency.
护士对中心静脉导管相关感染(CVC-RI)预防指南的了解较差,这表明护士未接受关于这些指南的适当教育。
本研究的目的是评估一门旨在提高护士对CVC-RI预防指南知识的教育课程的有效性。
131名护士样本被随机分配到实验组(接受教育课程)或对照组(未接受教育)。使用包含23项知识评估的结构化问卷收集前后数据。
在预测试中,所有参与者的知识水平都较差,平均得分为8.2(标准差 = 3.6)。课程结束后,实验组的知识水平显著提高,而对照组没有变化((106,3)= 25.1,P = 0.00)。
关于CVC-RI预防指南的教育课程有令人鼓舞的效果。建议决策者在其机构中实施此类课程,以提高护士的能力。
