Effect of implementing training programme for nurses about care bundle on prevention of ventilator‐associated pneumonia among newborns

Newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are at a higher risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) because of their fragile immune systems, the need for mechanical ventilation and prolonged hospital stays. VAP can lead to severe complications, including increased morbidity, mortality and long-term health issues. Training NICU nurses on VAP prevention care bundles is crucial for improving neonatal care, reducing preventable infections and optimizing clinical outcomes in a highly vulnerable neonatal population. It supports evidence-based practice, enhances nurse competence and contributes to the overall quality of care in neonatal intensive care settings. As a result, implementing such a training programme should be a top priority in NICU clinical practice.
