Improving Nurses’ Compliance with Isolation and Standard Precautions: An Educational Intervention
Öz
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of education on nurses' compliance with standardization and isolation precautions.
Methods: The study covered two different time periods, before and after the training. The compliance of the nurses with standard and isolation methods was examined in both time periods.
Results: The mean total score of the Compliance to Isolation Measures Scale was higher after the education (T1=55.39±7.39, T2=77.50±9.68; t=8.372, p<0.001). The mean total score of the Compliance to Standard Precautions Scale was higher after the education (T1=10.38±2.46, T2=14.43±4.29; t=6.298, p<0.001)
Conclusion: Education on the importance of using personal protective equipment, isolation, and compliance with standard precautions led to an increase in the variety and usage rates of nurses' protective equipment.
