| Abstract | ||
| Background: When a patient has abrupt cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a quick and critical lifesaving procedure that can either prevent or delay death. The aim of the study was to assess how nurses' knowledge and practice of CPR were affected by the implementation of nursing intervention about infection control measures. Subjects and Methods: This quasi-experimental research was conducted on 105 nurses. Data regarding infection control measures on nurses’ performance during CPR were collected from nurses using nurses’ structured interview questionnaires and Nurses’ practice observational checklist. Results: Initially, 76.19% of participants had low knowledge, but this dropped to 0% immediately after the intervention, with only 3.81% remaining in the low knowledge category after 6 weeks. Moderate knowledge was initially present in 14.29% of participants, decreasing to 0.95% immediately after the intervention, then increasing to 19.05% at the 6-week follow-up. High knowledge increased dramatically from 9.52% to 99.05% immediately post-intervention, with 77.14% retaining high knowledge 6 weeks later. Initially, 71.43% of participants had unsatisfactory performance, which dropped to 0% immediately after the intervention, but 23.81% reverted to unsatisfactory performance 6 weeks later. In contrast, only 28.57% initially performed satisfactorily, but this increased to 100% immediately post- intervention, with 76.19% maintaining satisfactory performance 6 weeks later. Conclusions: There was a clear positive correlation between the nurses' overall practice scores and their overall knowledge scores. | ||
