Brief Summary

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

The goal of this type of study: clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of educational practices on catheter-associated infection control measures on surgical nurses. The main question it aims to answer are:

* Is there a difference between the knowledge and attitude levels of surgical nurses receiving and not receiving catheter-related infection control training on preventing peripheral and central catheter-related bloodstream infections?
* Is there a difference between the knowledge and attitude levels of surgical nurses receiving and not receiving catheter-related infection control training to prevent catheter-related urinary tract infections?

The main tasks that the participants will be asked to do will be explained and their consent will be obtained. The two research groups will be compared.

Detailed Description

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

This study will be conducted with a total of 70 nurses working in the surgical clinics of a city hospital in Istanbul and meeting the inclusion criteria. Nurses who meet the inclusion criteria of the study will be divided into two groups: intervention (n=35) and control group (n=35) according to the randomization method created with computer-based random numbers. Nurses in the intervention group will be given face-to-face training on evidence-based catheter-related infection control measures. The content of the training program will also be given to the participants as written material (brochure). The training will take an average of 30 minutes. Routine in-service training practices will be given to the control group. Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Peripheral and Central Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Prevention Knowledge and Attitudes Scale, and Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections Control Precautions will be used in data collection. Data will be collected from all participants before, immediately after, and three months after the training practices.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Group

Nurses in the intervention group will be given face-to-face training on evidence-based catheter-related infection control measures. The content of the training program will also be given to the participants as written material (brochure). The training will take an average of 30 minutes. After the data collection forms are applied to the participants in the intervention group (pre-test), evidence-based training on catheter-related infection control measures will be conducted. The forms will be applied again immediately after the training (post-test) to measure the knowledge level of nurses and three months after the training (post-test) to measure the level of attitude.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Structured Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Structured catheter-related infection control training was prepared by using evidence-based information and receiving 10 expert opinions. This training will be given to the participants with a face-to-face PowerPoint presentation by the infection control nurse (researcher) and will also be presented as written material.

Control Group

Routine in-service training practices will be given to the control group. Data collection forms will be applied to the participants in the control group at the same time as the intervention group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
