Brief Summary

The goal of this type of study: clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of educational practices on catheter-associated infection control measures on surgical nurses. The main question it aims to answer are:

• Is there a difference between the knowledge and attitude levels of surgical nurses receiving and not receiving catheter-related infection control training on preventing peripheral and central catheter-related bloodstream infections?
• Is there a difference between the knowledge and attitude levels of surgical nurses receiving and not receiving catheter-related infection control training to prevent catheter-related urinary tract infections? The main tasks that the participants will be asked to do will be explained and their consent will be obtained. The two research groups will be compared.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The peripheral and central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection prevention knowledge and attitudes of the surgical nurses"

  There is a difference between 0-3 months on the knowledge and attitudes of the training given to nurses to prevent peripheral and central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections. The Peripheral and Central Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Prevention Knowledge and Attitudes Scale will be administered to the all participants before the training (pre-test). This scale will be used again immediately after the training (post-test) to measure the knowledge level of nurses and three months after the training (post-test) to measure the level of attitude. The scale includes 14 items and consists of "general precautions" and "catheter care" sub-dimensions. The scale score range is 14-70 points. Higher scores on the scale indicates higher knowledge and attitude.

  0-3 months

• The catheter-associated urinary tract infections control precautions knowledge and attitudes of the surgical nurses

  There is a difference between 0-3 months on the knowledge and attitudes of the training given to nurses to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections. The Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections Control Precautions Scale will be administered to the all participants before the training (pre-test). This scale will be used again immediately after the training (post-test) to measure the knowledge level of nurses and three months after the training (post-test) to measure the level of attitude. The scale includes 15 items and consists of "standard precautions", "maintenance of the closed drainage system" and "catheter-bag change" sub-dimensions. The scale score range is 15-75 points. Higher scores on the scale indicates higher knowledge and attitude.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Nurses in the intervention group will be given face-to-face training on evidence-based catheter-related infection control measures. The content of the training program will also be given to the participants as written material (brochure). The training will take an average of 30 minutes. After the data collection forms are applied to the participants in the intervention group (pre-test), evidence-based training on catheter-related infection control measures will be conducted. The forms will be applied again immediately after the training (post-test) to measure the knowledge level of nurses and three months after the training (post-test) to measure the level of attitude.

Other: Structured Training

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Routine in-service training practices will be given to the control group. Data collection forms will be applied to the participants in the control group at the same time as the intervention group.

Interventions

Structured Training OTHER

Structured catheter-related infection control training was prepared by using evidence-based information and receiving 10 expert opinions. This training will be given to the participants with a face-to-face PowerPoint presentation by the infection control nurse (researcher) and will also be presented as written material.
