NCT05853588

Brief Summary

The aim of this study, in a randomized controlled design with pretest, posttest and control groups, is to determine the effect of on-the-job (toolbox) training given to nurses on nursing-sensitive quality indicators (pain management, pressure sores, patient falls, Peripheral Venous Catheter complications and adverse event reporting). it aims to answer are: \- Does toolbox training have an effect on nursing-sensitive quality indicators? After the training, participants are expected to adapt to quality practices. This study consists of experimental and control groups. Experimental and control groups were determined by drawing lots with the help of an external expert. Nurses who met the inclusion criteria were included in the lottery. Inclusion criteria for the experimental and control groups were determined as follows:

  • Working in one of the hospital's internal medicine or surgical services
  • Having been working in the current service for at least 6 months, apart from past work experience
  • Having completed the orientation process to the hospital and taking responsibility for patient care
  • Voluntarily agree to participate in the study

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Nurse Information Form

    This form consists of 10 questions in total to determine the demographic study characteristics of the nurses participating in the research.

    before the training

  • Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators Application Information Form (pretest-posttest)

    Both groups were applied before the on-the-job training to be given to the experimental group and after all trainings were completed. It was prepared in the light of current literature in order to determine the knowledge level of nurses in the experimental and control groups about nursing-sensitive quality indicators and to evaluate the effectiveness of on-the-job training given to the experimental group. A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100 points can be obtained from this test.

    before the training

  • Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators Implementation Checklists

    The checklists developed in line with the literature have been developed for the management of pain in the unit, pressure ulcer, risk of falling, Peripheral Venous Catheter complications and adverse event reporting, and consist of five sections.In this test, 1 point is given for each complete application.

    before the training

  • Unit Quality Indicators Monitoring Form

    Data on 5 nursing-sensitive quality indicators (fall rates (in percent), patient rate with correct pain management (as a number), pressure ulcer rates (in percent), Peripheral Venous Catheter complication (as a number) and adverse event reporting rates(in percent) ) followed before and after the training, and data on the average number of hospitalization days are included.

    before the training

Secondary Outcomes (3)

    At 8 weeks after give all trainings

  • Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators Implementation Checklists

    At 8 weeks after give all trainings
