Abstrakt: | This study was conducted to examine the effects of Hickman Catheter Care Training on nurses’ practices. The descriptive study, was pretest-posttest and comparative design, was conducted with 44 nurses. Pre and post test measurements were carried out. After the pre-test, nurses received theoretical and practical training on the Hickman catheter. Following the training, post-test scores were obtained. In the second step of the study, nurses were evaluated while they were practicing their knowledge in clinic. Mean and percentage values, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskall-Wallis test, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Tests were used. Total Hicman catheter scores of nurses before the training were significantly higher compared to their scores after the training (p:0.001). One month after the training, 65.9% of the nurses mastered sterile opening of the materials, while only 29.5% washed their hands after removing their gloves. The training had a positive influence on nursing practices. However, nurses were incompetent regarding hygienic hand washing, use of gloves, and antiseptic use. It was also observed that the duration of employment in the nursing profession, working types, routine tasks of nurses, and the number of patients affected catheter care practices. In order to achieve sustainability, training should be provided on a regular basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
