摘要
Not only health professionals have been learning infection control concepts currently, but the entire world has been learning infection prevention and control techniques during the Corona virus. Hospital-acquired infection, also known as a nosocomial infection, is a global issue that continues to be the leading cause of death in all clinical settings. This research was aimed to evaluate the effect of infection control guidelines on nurses' performance among medical-surgical and obstetrics gynecological departments during corona virus. Design A quasi-experimental research design (pre and/or post-test) was conducted. Settings: The current investigation took place at Menoufia University Hospital's medical-surgical and obstetrics-gynecological departments in Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: 138 nurses who are working in the above departments were selected as a purposive sample in this research. Instruments: Three instruments were used for data collection; the first instrument consists of two parts: sociodemographic characteristics of nurses and their awareness of infection control standards. The second instrument was an observational checklist for nurses' behaviors and performance about infection control rules. The third instrument: Assessment sheet for factors that impede infection control process during corona virus. Results: The nurse's awareness and performance of infection prevention practices improved following the intervention, according to the results of this research. In addition, the nurse's level of knowledge and practice had a positive relation. Conclusion: After the guidelines intervention, the nurses' awareness and habits related to infection control rules improved significantly. Recommendations: Onsite scheduled periodic training updating program courses should become an integral part of all hospital training for nurses and there should be a continuous follow-up and appraisal of the nurses' performance frequently regarding the infection control guidelines.
