Brief summary

It was aimed to evaluate the effect of care-oriented practical training on the intensive and critical care competencies of nurses, the hand hygiene compliance rate of nurses and care support staff, and HAI indicators.

Detailed description

Does care-oriented practical training increase nurses's intensive and critical care competencies? Does care-oriented practical training increase the hand hygiene compliance rate of nurses and care support staff? Does care-oriented practical training reduce HAI indicators in intensive care units?

Interventions

BEHAVIORALCare-oriented Practical Training

The training content includes evidence-based practice recommendations for intensive and critical care, hand hygiene, hygiene practices in patients with special needs, and prevention and control of common HAIs. In the first stage of the training, practical training will be given by the intensive care coordinator and infection control nurse on the application model. In the second stage, patient care practices of a care team consisting of an intensive care nurse and care support staff will be observed. The training will be conducted interactively with narration, demonstration and question and answer techniques.
