Abstract

Surgical site infections are a common complication following abdominal surgeries; therefore, educating nurses on their prevention is essential. This developmental research aimed to create, study the effectiveness, and assess the satisfaction of video media for nurses for the prevention of abdominal surgical site infections. The participants consisted of 41 registered nurses from a tertiary hospital in Nong Khai Province. The research instruments included the video media design and development plan, a questionnaire on the video media, a general information questionnaire, a knowledge test on the prevention of abdominal surgical site infections for nurses, and a satisfaction survey regarding the video media. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

The results of the study demonstrated that the video media for preventing abdominal surgical site infections for nurses was divided into two parts: abdominal surgical site infections and nursing practices for preventing abdominal surgical site infections. The evaluation of the video media showed an effectiveness score of 1.35, which met the standard criteria while the participants expressed the highest level of overall satisfaction with the media. Regarding specific aspects, the satisfaction level was high for the content, design and presentation, while the level of satisfaction was the highest for the benefits received.

This study demonstrates that the video media was effective in providing knowledge to nurses. It should be disseminated to enhance nurses' knowledge and understanding, and may ultimately lead to a reduction in the rate of surgical site infections.
