简要总结
The aim is to deliver an intervention to promote nurse leadership and decision-making in the hospital setting, by providing them with training for maintaining minimum service delivery standards for hospital infection control with respect to COVID-19; but also other infectious disease burden management.
详细描述
Nurses are frontline practitioners in the fight against COVID-19. Empowering nurses through training for infection prevention for COVID-19 is an essential step to facilitate nurse leadership and safety in the hospital. There is immense reliance on nurses with regard to patient safety, yet very little effort is made to invest in interventions for their leadership roles in developing countries, including Pakistan. In this study the aim is to deliver an intervention for COVID-19 preventive protocols to nurses and assess the impact of the intervention through a pre and post-test survey. A total of 200 nurses will be sampled. A 100 nurses each will be part of the control and experiment group each.
The data will be analyzed using SPSS. Pre and post test results will be presented using descriptive data and bivariate regression will be used to present higher odds of confidence in preventive and awareness literacy for COVID-19 in nurses after intervention delivery. Through this research the aim is to improve nurse leadership in maintaining minimum service delivery standards for hospital infection control with respect to COVID-19; but also other infectious disease burden management.

Core competencies in nurses for infection control and prevention (Min and Sil 2014)
时间窗: 3 months
It will consist of 44 questions for core competencies of infection control and prevention, including 10 constructs of: (1) Identification of infectious disease processes, (2) Surveillance and epidemiologic investigations, (3) Preventing/controlling the transmission of infectious agents, (4) Employee/occupational health, (5) Management and communication planning, (6) Quality/performance improvement and patient safety, and (7) Education and research education, (8) Confidence with training and awareness for identification and implementation for COVID-19 prevention and control strategies, (9) confidence in training and awareness, and (10) satisfaction with workplace support. It is a five-point Likert-type scale (strongly agree - agree - neutral - disagree - strongly disagree). The highest value of the scale is 6 and the lowest value is 1; with 6 points showing strong agreement with the item statement (E.g. Q1. Can you differentiate between other infections and COVID-19).
