“…College nurses had higher significant knowledge in general about hemodialysis and about the procedure, while diploma nurse has higher significant knowledge about hemodialysis complication. This findings were parallel with study in Egypt, Sudan and Erbil (15) (8) (16), while in other study in Egypt has shown the year of experiences have significant positive association with the knowledge about hemodialysis but the education level did not show a significant association (12). In this study, more than 5 years' experience also had higher knowledge about hemodialysis but the difference was not statistically significant.…”

Background: Hemodialysis is required to the specific nurses' knowledges and the virtuous nursing care with the high standard practice for the management of end stage kidney disease patient. Nurse's knowledge about hemodialysis takes a key role in the success of this practice. This study aimed to assessing the nurse's knowledge about hemodialysis procedure and complication in Sulaimani City. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Shar Teaching Hospital from June 1, 2022 to February 2, 2022. A total 102 nurses were recruited to this study by using a convenience sample size. Data were collected by using the structured questionnaire that was about sociodemographic variables and nursing awareness about hemodialysis. Results: The study found the participant nurses were mostly female (52%), married (62.7%), in the age group (28<38 years) (78.4%), the professional diploma level of education (69.6%), and 5 -10 years of experiences (79.4%). Age group (28<38 years) and Bachler education level had a significant relationship with knowledge about hemodialysis procedure (p. value= 0.04) and its complications (p. value= 0.02. Knowledge about washing hand (33.3%), putting gloves (41.2), and chest pain and shortness of breath complication (50%) were less considerably among the nurses. Conclusions: This study has found level of knowledge about hemodialysis were considered low among nurses. Age and level of education were significantly but inconsistently associated with the knowledge about hemodialysis. Nurses did not have proficient knowledge about infection control and the complications of hemodialysis. This study recommends the continuous training to low educated nurse.

Background The increasing prevalence of needle stick injuries among nurses and the arising risks double the need to pay attention to improve their knowledge and change their behavior using effective educational models. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of educational intervention based on the health belief model on nurses’ compliance with standard precautions in preventing needle stick injuries. Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 110 nurses working in medical training centers in Shiraz and Fasa in 2019. Subjects were selected using a simple sampling method and were randomly divided into two interventions (n = 55) and control (n = 55). The intervention included 7 sessions of 50–55 min. Before and 3 months after the intervention, the health belief model questionnaire was completed by both groups. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22 through chi-square, independent, and paired t-tests (P < 0.05). Results Based on independent and paired t-tests, there was no significant difference between the control and intervention groups regarding the mean score of health belief model constructs before the intervention. However, there was a significant difference regarding the mentioned scores 3 months after the educational intervention. Based on the paired t-test, the mean score of awareness, perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, cues to action, and behavioral performance in the intervention group significantly increased after the educational intervention (P < 0.05). Also, there was a significant decrease in perceived barriers (P < 0.05). Conclusion It is recommended to apply the proposed model as an effective and cost-effective method along with other methods in training programs for nurses and other health workers exposed to invasive procedures, contaminated blood, and secretions.
