“…in Kerman, Iran, suggests that continuing education program promote knowledge, attitude and performance of nurses on documentation. [18] In a study conducted in Northern Italian University on effectiveness of a clinical skills workshop for drug-dosage calculation with participation of 77 nursing students, the results showed that clinical skills workshop increased drug-dosage calculation as well as students’ understanding of mathematical calculation,[19] which is consistent with the present study.…”

Background:The medical and nonmedical care of patients is the necessary skills in nursing profession. That it needs proper knowledge and attitude. Hence, it is important to promote nurses’ knowledge and attitude by education based on need assessment. This study aimed to define the efficacy of a medical and nonmedical intervention educational workshop on nurses’ knowledge and attitude until 3 months after holding the workshop in psychiatric wards of educational hospitals in Isfahan.Materials and Methods:This is a quasi-experimental study. The study population comprised all nurses working in psychiatric wards of Nour and Farabi Hospitals (64) in Isfahan in 2012. An educational workshop was held through educational sessions in the form of lectures and group discussion in two above-mentioned hospitals. Nurses’ level of knowledge and attitude were investigated by a researcher made questionnaire before, immediately after and 3 months after intervention. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistical tests of repeated measure ANOVA and Bonferroni.Results:A significant increase was observed in mean scores of nurses’ knowledge immediately after and 3 months after education compared to before education (P < 0.001). Also, the mean of attitude score in 3 phases have significant different (P < 0.009). Nurses have the high satisfaction (86.3%) of need assessment based education workshop. Moreover, it is effective in the science information revival of nurses.Conclusion:Educational sessions notably affected the promotion of nurses’ knowledge and attitude. With regard to nurses’ satisfaction with the workshop which was held, designing and organizing educational workshops based on constant needs assessment is suggested for the promotion of nursing cares.

“…For example, Huang focussed on increasing knowledge (educational training programme and written information) and awareness (clarifying risks for blood pathogen exposure), but also enhanced the self-efficacy of nurses with one hour of practical demonstration of hand washing and using gloves [55]. In Marra’s study, activities were also aimed at increasing awareness by providing feedback on infection rates.…”

A systematic review of hand hygiene improvement strategies: a behavioural approach

et al. 2012

BackgroundMany strategies have been designed and evaluated to address the problem of low hand hygiene (HH) compliance. Which of these strategies are most effective and how they work is still unclear. Here we describe frequently used improvement strategies and related determinants of behaviour change that prompt good HH behaviour to provide a better overview of the choice and content of such strategies.MethodsSystematic searches of experimental and quasi-experimental research on HH improvement strategies were conducted in Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases from January 2000 to November 2009. First, we extracted the study characteristics using the EPOC Data Collection Checklist, including study objectives, setting, study design, target population, outcome measures, description of the intervention, analysis, and results. Second, we used the Taxonomy of Behavioural Change Techniques to identify targeted determinants.ResultsWe reviewed 41 studies. The most frequently addressed determinants were knowledge, awareness, action control, and facilitation of behaviour. Fewer studies addressed social influence, attitude, self-efficacy, and intention. Thirteen studies used a controlled design to measure the effects of HH improvement strategies on HH behaviour. The effectiveness of the strategies varied substantially, but most controlled studies showed positive results. The median effect size of these strategies increased from 17.6 (relative difference) addressing one determinant to 49.5 for the studies that addressed five determinants.ConclusionsBy focussing on determinants of behaviour change, we found hidden and valuable components in HH improvement strategies. Addressing only determinants such as knowledge, awareness, action control, and facilitation is not enough to change HH behaviour. Addressing combinations of different determinants showed better results. This indicates that we should be more creative in the application of alternative improvement activities addressing determinants such as social influence, attitude, self-efficacy, or intention.
