Aim: to evaluate the effect of an educational training program on nurses’ performance regarding surgical care bundle for general surgery patients. Design: A quasi- experimental design. Settings: Sohag General Hospital affiliated to Ministry of Health, Sohag Governorate in general surgical department & operating theater. Subjects: A convenient sample of fifty nurses who working at the previously mentioned settings & a convenient sample of one hundred and twenty general surgery patients in the same facility. Tools of data collection: Tool (1): Nurses' characteristics questionnaire. Tool (II): Nurses' knowledge assessment questionnaire. Tool (III): Nurses' practice observational checklist. Tool (IV): Nurses’ attitudes Likert scale. Tool (V): Surgical Site Infection (SSI) assessment questionnaire consists of: Part (1): Patients’ medical and demographic data and part (2): Southampton Surgical Site Infection Grading System. Results: This study revealed that the majority of studied nurses had satisfactory knowledge level in post program implementation. While four-fifths of them had satisfactory knowledge level in pre-program implementation. Also, the vast majority of the studied nurses had competent practice in post program implementation, compared to preprogram implementation, more than half of them had competent practice level. Additionally, more than two-fifths of the studied nurses had a negative attitude preprogram while the majority of them had a positive attitude post program. There is a positive correlation between nurses' total level of knowledge, practices and attitude pre and post program implementation. The study group demonstrated highly significantly better outcomes with normal healing compared to control group. Conclusion: Educational program was effective in improving nurses' performance regarding surgical care bundle and decrease incidence of SSI among general surgery patients. Recommendation: Development of a training program should be conducted periodically with various teaching methods for nursing staff in surgical wards and ORs to improve their performance regarding surgical care bundle.</span></p> <p><span><strong><span>Keywords:</span></strong></span><span><span> Educational Training Program, Nurses' performance, Surgical Care Bundle, General Surgery Patients.</span></span></p> <p><strong><span>Title:</span></strong><span> The Effect of an Educational Training Program on Nurses’ Performance Regarding Surgical Care Bundle for General Surgery Patients</span></p> <p><strong><span>Author:</span></strong><span> Isaac Sabry Naeem Beshay, Dr.</span><span> <span>Badria Abd Elshahed Elkattan, Dr.</span> <span>Zienab Hussin Ali </span></span></p> <p><strong><span>International Journal of Novel Research in Healthcare and Nursing</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>ISSN 2394-7330</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Vol. 12, Issue 1, January 2025 - April 2025</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Page No: 96-110</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Novelty Journals</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Website: www.noveltyjournals.com</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Published Date: 27-February-2025</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14937466">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14937466</a></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>Paper Download Link (Source)</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span><a href="https://www.noveltyjournals.com/upload/paper/The%20Effect%20of%20an%20Educational-27022025-2.pdf">https://www.noveltyjournals.com/upload/paper/The%20Effect%20of%20an%20Educational-27022025-2.pdf</a></span></strong></p>
