Abstract
Background: Basic infection control precautions are essential in the healthcare context in
neonatal intensive care units to reduce the occurrence of hospital-associated infections. A mind
map is one of active learning strategies that facilitate learning, increase natural ability to think
and expand memory recall. Aim: To determine the effect of using mind mapping about infection
control on pediatric nurses' performance at neonatal intensive care units. Subjects and method:
A quasi-experimental research design was carried out to fulfill the aim of the current study.
Setting: the study was carried out at neonatal intensive care unit, Tanta Main University
Hospitals. Subjects: The study included all available nurses (70) who are working at the above
mentioned study setting. Tools: Two tools were used for data collection: Tool (I): Infection
control and mind mapping questionnaire which consisted of three parts; part (1) sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses; part (2) nurses' opinion regarding the utilization of
mind mapping strategy in education and training. part (3) nurses' knowledge about infection
control and mind mapping strategy, Tool (II): Infection control observational checklists for
nurse’s practices. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between pediatric
nurses' total knowledge and performance regarding infection control pre and post application.
Conclusion: The current study concluded that pediatric nurses' performance regarding infection
control at neonatal intensive care units enhanced by the using of mind mapping strategy.
Recommendations: The study suggested that mind mapping strategy should be implemented as
an effective teaching technique for pediatric nurse education and training.
