A Pre-Experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme in Terms of Knowledge Regarding Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI) Prevention Among Nursing Officers Working in the Selected Hospital of Delhi NCR
Abstract
Introduction: As per the data of the World Health Organization, 30% of patients in the ICU develop hospital-acquired infections, among which the majority are blood infections due to the existence of catheters in the venous cavity. Infections can be reduced by educating staff on the aseptic care of patients with central venous catheters (CVCs).
Materials and Methods: A pre-experimental research study with one group pre-test post-test design was used for this study. The Yashoda Hospital and Research Centre in Nehru Nagar, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, served as the study’s location. The approach of purposeful sampling was employed to choose 30 nursing officers from the hospital who were working in the Medical ICU, Surgical ICU, Neonatal ICU and Paediatric ICU. A structured teaching programme was conducted on CLABSI (Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection) infection. Nursing Officers’ learning outcomes were assessed by using the structured knowledge questionnaire regarding CLABSI prevention.
Results: Following the delivery of a structured teaching programme, a post-test was conducted which revealed that the majority of Nursing Officers (23, 76.66%) had moderately adequate knowledge, 7 (23.33%) had adequate knowledge, and none of the group had inadequate knowledge.
Conclusion: The results of the current study demonstrate the effectiveness of structured teaching programmes by demonstrating that most nursing officers had moderately adequate knowledge regarding CLABSI prevention after receiving the programme, which was administered to them.
