“…In the current study, more than half of nurses were from urban areas. This agreed with Abdel Ghafour et al (2021), who found that more than half of the nurses were from urban areas Regarding to level of education of the studied nurses, the current study result clarified that two fifths of them had a nursing school diploma; this might due to the highly qualified nurses always perform administrative work. In congruence with these findings, Moursy and Sharaf (2017) who study about "vascular access care at hemodialysis unit; nurses' compliance to infection prevention and control practice" and reported that highly percentage of the studied nurses the educational level were diploma.…”

Central venous catheter insertion is not a benign procedure, it is a potentially harmful one, if it is not performed correctly, and it might result in life threatening complications. It causes substantial morbidity, mortality and incurs high costs; they are preventable through the adherence to strict guidelines by health care workers when caring for patients.A cross-sectional descriptive design was utilized in conducting the study, in a military hospital. The hospital provides inpatient and outpatient services to military personnel and their families, as well as to civilian people. Subject: A purposive sample was composed of 50 nurses who worked at the adult Intensive Care Unit in a military Hospital. The tool data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire to assess knowledge of ICU nurses related to the maintenance, care, and prevention of central venous catheter-related infection and an observation checklist to assess their practices.The results showed that 70 % of nurses had an average level of total knowledge, 52% had an incompetent level of practice to maintenance, care and prevention of central venous catheter-related infections. There were significant differences between nurses' characteristics and their knowledge, practices. here was a positive correlation between the nurses' knowledge, practices related to the Maintenance, Care, and Prevention of Central Venous Catheter-Related Infection.

Background: Nurses in Intensive Care Units (ICU) have a vital role in reducing Central line associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) if they are well educated to use strategies to decrease Central line associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) rate which are based on the center for disease control and prevention guidelines (CDC) to improve patient’s outcomes. Health-care-associated infections are a huge concern in the intensive care units (ICUs) across the globe. Nearly 90% of catheter-related bloodstream infections are caused by central venous catheters (CVCs). Central venous catheters (CVC) are commonly inserted in critically ill patients and play an important role for hemodynamic monitoring and delivery of crucial treatments. Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a laboratory confirmed bloodstream infection occurring in a patient with a CVC in place for >48 hours that is not related to an infection at any other site. Preventing nosocomial infections pose a great challenge in ICU, because of the multi-drug resistant organisms treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Clinical practice guidelines from various organizations are available for prevention of vascular catheter related infections. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement has introduced a “central line bundle” that includes the five best evidence-based practices to prevent CLABSI. This bundle includes hand hygiene, maximal barrier precautions during catheter insertion, skin antisepsis with chlorhexidine, optimal selection of the catheter site, with avoidance of the femoral vein and a daily assessment of line necessity, including the removal of an unnecessary line. Of these components, “hand hygiene” (HH) is the most convenient and cost effective to follow. “Hand Hygiene” HH prevents the transmission of pathogens and is a universal strategy to prevent all nosocomial infections. The World Health Organization has proposed a multimodal strategy; which includes five elements called the “Five Moments for Hand Hygiene”, as an evidence-based approach to prevent hospital-acquired infections. The five moments include, before touching the patient, before performing any a clean/aseptic procedure, after exposure/risk of body fluid, after touching the patient and after touching the patient surroundings. Therefore, the researcher was curious to know the effectiveness of informative booklet regarding knowledge, attitude and practice of intensive care unit staff nurses regarding prevention of central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI).
