Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to deliver an intervention to promote nurse leadership and decision-making in the hospital setting, by providing them with training for maintaining minimum service delivery standards for hospital infection control with respect to COVID-19; but also other infectious disease burden management.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Nurses are frontline practitioners in the fight against COVID-19. Empowering nurses through training for infection prevention for COVID-19 is an essential step to facilitate nurse leadership and safety in the hospital. There is immense reliance on nurses with regard to patient safety, yet very little effort is made to invest in interventions for their leadership roles in developing countries, including Pakistan. In this study the aim is to deliver an intervention for COVID-19 preventive protocols to nurses and assess the impact of the intervention through a pre and post-test survey. A total of 200 nurses will be sampled. A 100 nurses each will be part of the control and experiment group each.

The data will be analyzed using SPSS. Pre and post test results will be presented using descriptive data and bivariate regression will be used to present higher odds of confidence in preventive and awareness literacy for COVID-19 in nurses after intervention delivery. Through this research the aim is to improve nurse leadership in maintaining minimum service delivery standards for hospital infection control with respect to COVID-19; but also other infectious disease burden management.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Currently practicing nurses who will receive intervention

An intervention for COVID-19 preventive protocols will be delivered to the nurses in the experiment group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention for COVID-19 preventive protocols

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention will comprise (A) digital communication of written material and (B) monthly online training and discussion through skype and zoom, to allow for physical demonstrations, Q\&A and sharing of challenges. The five specific areas covered in the intervention for COVID-19 preventive protocols will include: (1) PPE fitting, (2) PPE removal, (3) hand hygiene, (4) cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, and (5) nurse uniform sterilization.

Currently practicing nurses who will not receive intervention

No intervention for COVID-19 preventive protocols will be delivered to the nurses in the control group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
