Knowledge of the related evidence-based recommendations is necessary to provide high-quality nursing care. Aim: Development of an evaluation tool and subsequent evaluation of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses~ knowledge of the SSI prevention guideline to identify their specific educational needs, as part of a needs analysis preceding the development of an e-learning module on infection prevention. Methods: We developed a multiple-choice knowledge test concerning evidence-based SSI prevention. After expert assessment of its face and content validity, the test was used in a survey among 809 ICU nurses. Demographics included were gender, ICU experience, number of ICU beds, and whether respondents had obtained a specialized ICU qualification. Based on the test results, an item analysis was performed. Results: Face and content validity were achieved for 9 out of 10 items of the questionnaire. From the survey, we collected 650 questionnaires (response rate 80.3%). The item analysis revealed overall good results with values for item difficulty ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 for eight questions, while one question had a value of 0.02; discriminative values ranging from 0.27 to 0.53 and values for the quality of the response alternatives between 0.1 and 0.7. Overall, these results demonstrate the questionnaire~s reliability. The nurses~ mean score on the knowledge test was 29%. Males were shown to have better scores. Conclusions: Opportunities exist to improve ICU nurses~ knowledge about SSI prevention recommendations. Current guidelines should support their ongoing training and education. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=5935 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Shih FJ. ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Nurses~ Knowledge of Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Prevention of Surgical Site Infection. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=2001 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
