Addressing aseptic technique challenges requires creative education for large staff groups. A work group of nurses and surgical technologists developed and delivered a two-part training session to improve practice.

Area of Science:

  • Perioperative nursing
  • Surgical technology education

Background:

  • Aseptic technique is crucial in preventing surgical site infections.
  • Educating large groups of perioperative staff on aseptic technique presents significant challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a process for addressing aseptic technique practice issues.
  • To outline a method for presenting educational inservice programs to numerous staff members.

Main Methods:

  • A work group was formed, including staff Registered Nurses (RNs) and surgical technologists.
  • The work group identified and planned educational content on aseptic technique.
  • A two-part educational session was developed and presented to surgical staff.

Main Results:
