“…Further, the result showed that the practice skills of the nurses were significantly higher in the posttest than the pretest ( P = .000). This finding is in accordance with the findings of other researchers in Egypt, 13 India, 30 and Hodeida city 21 where their interventions improved nurses’ compliance with standard precautions of infection control, prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia among neonates, and feeding of premature neonates respectively, by increasing their knowledge and practice.…”

Background: Clinical competency of nurses has been identified to be vital in making the difference between survival and death of neonates. Continuing education (CE) is essential to enhance the competency of nurses. This study aims to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on nurses’ competency as regards their knowledge, attitude, and practices of neonatal care in a teaching hospital in Ogun State. Methods: A quasi experimental one (1) group pre- and postintervention design was used. Purposive sampling of all registered nurses working in the neonatal unit of Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu Ogun State was utilized. Two tools were used for data collection: a semi-structured questionnaire and nurses’ clinical performance observational checklist. Data were collected before and 2 weeks after educational intervention. Data collected was managed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20 software. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze and present variables. Inferential statistics of student t test was employed for hypotheses testing at P ≤ .05. Result: Nurses’ knowledge and practice improved at postintervention. Knowledge mean score at pretest was 35.21 (±6.33) which increased to 43.74 (±3.30) in the posttest (t = −7.33, P = .000). Practice mean score at pretest was 32.7 (±6.04) which increased to 44.8 (±7.22) postintervention (t = 7.26, P = .000). However, no significant difference was observed between the attitude of nurses regarding care of neonates pretest 71.0 (±7.15) and posttest 71.1 (±13.5) (t = 0.04, P = .968). Overall, there is a significant difference in the nurses’ competency score at pretest 192.21 (±20.23) and posttest 203.79 (±4.78) (t = −2.21, P = .040). Majority (94.7%) of the nurses agreed that CE would facilitate their competent in the care of neonates in neonatal units while 31.6% established that financial constraint was a barrier to attending CE to improve themselves. Conclusion: Implementation of educational program for nurses working in the neonatal unit improved their competency toward neonatal care. It is recommended that CE and training programs should be organized for nurses on a regular basis to sustain their competency.

“…Similar studies also reported nurses working in the neonatal unit to be females only. 20,21 This might be attributed to the fact that motherhood is linked to femininity. Thus, with their sense of motherhood it is anticipated they will work effectively in the neonatal unit.…”

“…This conclusion is similar to that of study findings[ 27 ] who found that the amount of practice was >58%. However, it is lower than the 74% discovered by research evidence,[ 10 ] but it is greater than many other studies, which revealed that this level of practice accounted for 52%[ 28 ] and 58%,[ 29 ] respectively. This gap in results could be attributable to individuals' differing views toward using infection control measures.…”

BACKGROUND: Basic infection control measures are required in India's health-care setting in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) to lower the prevalence of hospital-associated infections. The aim of the present study was to assess practices followed by nurses of NICUs for nosocomial infection prevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January to February 2020, a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants in the study were chosen by total enumeration sampling technique, i.e., 60 nurses were included in this study who working in tertiary care institutions, India. The study respondents' knowledge and practice for nosocomial infection control strategies were assessed by using a 30-item and 27-item questionnaires, respectively. SPSS (version 23.0) was used to analyze the data collected. RESULTS: Results showed that all nurses (100%) were females, belongs to the age group of 26–35 years (82%), hold professional qualifications (34%) in GNM as well as post basic BSc nursing, married (72%), had 1–5 years of professional experience (66%), and working in the NICUs for 1–3 years (74%). Most of nurses (55%) had never attended any session on nosocomial infection prevention. Nurses of NICUs (70%) had just a moderate degree of understanding on nosocomial infection prevention. Nurses' practice showed good practise (60%) for nosocomial infection prevention in NICUs. CONCLUSIONS: The necessity to adopt health-care policy about nosocomial infections and execution of regular training program to upgrade and refresh nurses' knowledge and practices regarding for nosocomial infection control measures is indicated to fill gap among knowledge and practices concerning nosocomial infection control and prevention.
