The knowledge level of nurses regarding care techniques plays a crucial role in the prevention of central venous catheter-related infections. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of training on central venous catheter care (CVCC), provided to nurses caring for pediatric oncology patients, on their knowledge level and infection prevention behaviors. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of an educational program intended to enhance nurses' knowledge and practical skills in preventing CVC-related infections, thereby contributing to evidence-based practices that improve patient safety.
Provided care to a pediatric oncology patient at least once
Performed a procedure via a central venous catheter on a pediatric oncology patient
Voluntarily signed the informed consent form
Not having previously performed a procedure via a central venous catheter
Single group
CVC Care Training
Other interventionThe intervention consists of an educational training program including a PowerPoint presentation, training video, and hands-on practice with a mannequin. Data collection tools include the Sociodemographic Information Form, the Evidence-Based Guidelines Knowledge Test, and the Nurses' Observation Questionnaire on Infection Control and Prevention.
Change in Infection Prevention Behaviors
Measured by the Nurses' Observation Checklist for Infection Control and Prevention (19 items). Higher scores indicate better infection prevention practices. Nurses will be observed before and after the training.
Change in Knowledge Level of Nurses
Measured by the Evidence-Based Guidelines Knowledge Test (10 questions). Higher scores indicate greater knowledge. Nurses will complete the test before and after the training.
Post-Training Observation of Infection Prevention Behaviors
Nurses will be observed in their clinical practice environment after completing the training program. Observations will be conducted by the principal investigator and an independent observer using the Nurses' Observation Checklist for Infection Control and Prevention (19 items). Higher scores indicate better infection prevention practices. Scores will be recorded as post-training results.
