“…Our findings are consistent with previous results of one group pre-test and post-test studies aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational intervention in infection control measures to improve the level of knowledge among nursing students and nurses [ 17 , 26 – 29 ]. These studies showed a significant improvement in the mean score attributed to knowledge in the post-intervention compared to the pre-intervention evaluation.…”

Implementation of an educational module on nosocomial infection control measures: a randomised hospital-based trial

Background Previous cross-sectional studies have reported limited knowledge and practices among nurses regarding controlling nosocomial infections (NIs). Even though health institutions offer many irregular in-service training courses to solve such issues, a three year-nursing educational programme at institutions is not adequate to enable nurses to handle NIs. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the implementation of an educational module on NIs control measures among Yemeni nurses. Methods A single-blinded randomised hospital-based trial was undertaken involving 540 nurses assigned to two intervention groups and a waitlist group. Intervention group-1 received a face-to-face training course comprising 20 h spread over six weeks and a hard copy of the module, while intervention group-2 only received the hard copy of the module “without training”. In contrast, the waitlist group did not receive anything during the period of collecting data. A self-administered NI control measures-evaluation questionnaire was utilised in collecting the data from the participants; before the intervention, at six weeks and 3 months after the end of the intervention. The period of data collection was between 1st May and 30th October 2016. Results The results from collecting and analysing the data showed a statistically significant difference in the mean knowledge scores between the intervention groups that were detectable immediately post-intervention with a mean difference (MD) of 4.31 (P < 0.001) and 3 months after the end of the intervention (MD = 4.48, P < 0.001) as compared to the waitlist group. Similarly, the results showed a statistically significant difference in the mean practice scores between the intervention groups immediately post-intervention (MD = 2.74, P < 0.001) and 3 months after the intervention (MD = 2.46, P < 0.001) as compared to the waitlist group. Intervention-1 (face-to-face training + module) was more effective than intervention-2 (module only) in improving Yemeni nurses’ knowledge and practices regarding NI control measures compared to the waitlist group. Conclusion The findings of this study found that intervention-1 could be offered to nurses in the form of an in-service training course every six months. The NI course should also be included in nursing curricula, particularly for the three-year-nursing diploma in Yemen. Trial registration Nosocomial infection educational module for nurses ISRCTN19992640, 20/6/2017. The study protocol was retrospectively registered.

“…The nurses had statistically significant scores in all items at post program phase p<0.001 for all. (3) showed that the majority of nurses (94.7%) had unsatisfactory practice before applying health education program, while after applying health education program the nurses' practice was satisfactory (78.9%). (4) showed that there were highly statistically improvement in practice level regarding infection control in all table items namely pre-cleaning, leakage testing, manual cleaning, high level disinfected, manual disinfecting, endoscopy storage, and nurses total post procedure after application of the educational programs (P≤0.001).…”

Introduction: Endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure in which a flexible fiber optic tube passed into the esophagus, stomach and upper small intestine depending on the level at which lesions are anticipated. Because flexible endoscopes enter body cavities, they may acquire high levels of microbial contamination. Organic material (eg, blood, feces, and respiratory secretions) that collects in the channels and parts of the endoscope can be difficult to be removed. Aim of work: To assess nurses' knowledge and practice regarding infection control procedures during GIT endoscopies, to assess nurses' knowledge and practice regarding universal precautions during reprocessing techniques of GIT endoscopies, to evaluate the effect of training program on nurses' knowledge and practice regarding infection control procedures and endoscopies reprocessing procedures. Materials and methods: An experimental study (pre-post test) was conducted in GIT endoscopy unit in General Surgery department, Zagazig University Hospitals. All endoscopy nursing staff (38 nurses) who is dealing with endoscopies reprocessing were included in the study. First tool was questionnaire sheet, to assess nurses' knowledge. The second tool was observational checklist to assess nurses' practice.

“…Abd-Elhamid et al (2016) reported that nursing staff adherence to infection control principles for endoscope reprocessing procedures was 83.3% after training, which significantly increased from 10.0% before training. 19 Additionally, decreasing incidence of microbial infection transmission in Yemen and Egypt, as well as increasing the knowledge and skills for infection control in endoscopy units was significant after receiving the infection control program. 20,21 According to the Korean survey of nurses and nursing aides working in endoscopy units at secondary and tertiary hospitals, 98.0% attended endoscope reprocessing training at least once, and 98.9% adhered to the endoscope reprocessing guidelines.…”
