Educational Program's Impact on Nurses' Skills in Port-A-Catheter Care for Chemotherapy Patients
NCT06664476
Summary
The goal of this experimental study is to evaluate if an educational intervention can improve nurses' knowledge and practice in caring for patients with implanted Port-A-Catheters among oncology nurses directly involved in chemotherapy care. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will the educational program improve nurses' knowledge regarding Port-A-Catheter care? Will the educational program positively impact nurses' practical skills and reduce complications related to Port-A-Catheter management? Researchers will compare pre-intervention and post-intervention performance to see if the educational program leads to better knowledge and practice outcomes. Participants will: Attend a theoretical training session on Port-A-Catheter fundamentals, including its use, benefits, and common complications. Engage in a practical session, involving demonstrations and supervised practice of Port-A-Catheter care, such as insertion, flushing, and removal. Be evaluated before the intervention, immediately after, and at 2 weeks post-intervention to assess improvements and retention of knowledge and skills.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria: * Nurses with at least one year of experience in oncology or chemotherapy units. * Nurses currently working in the Oncology Care Center or related units that handle Port-A-Catheters. Exclusion Criteria: * Staff nurses working with experience less than least 6 months.
