Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) infections are a major problem in critical care units, resulting in longer hospital stays, higher treatment costs, and deaths. This one group pretest posttest quasi-experimental research study aimed to examine the effects of education provision and feedback on practices for MDROs. The intervention consisted of hand hygiene and wearing gloves. The sample consisted of 23 registered nurses in a surgical critical care unit at a tertiary hospital from January to June 2019. The intervention was divided into 3 phases. Phase I consisted of general data collection and observation of hand hygiene and gloves wearing, while Phase II involved educating the sample group using lectures, demonstrations, and return demonstrations. Phase III addressed personal and group feedback using the following 5 steps: Step 1: define common target goals (target); Step 2: practice how to observe, use and record in the recording form (train); Step 3: provide feedback (feedback); Step 4: group discuss and comment (share); and Step 5: setting goals and develop practices (act).
The research instruments consisted of the demographic data form and the observational recording hand hygiene and gloves use form. All instruments were tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-squared test.
The results of the study showed that after implementation of education and feedback, the correct practice of hand hygiene increased significantly from 17.56% to 92.08% (p<.001) and the correct practice of wearing gloves increased significantly from 71.24% to 98.96% (p<.001).
This study shows that education provision and feedback can be used to improve MDROs infection prevention practice among nurses. Future study into the effects of education provision and feedback among nurses on the incidence of MDROs infections is suggested.
