EFFECT OF A TRAINING PROGRAM ON REDUCING HEALTH COMPLICATIONS AFTER OPERATIONS OF PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAILING TECHNIQUE
Abstract:
The proximal femoral fracture patients in particular fractures in the trochanteric region of the femur could have treatment under the title proximal femoral nailing (PFN)-this operation is a less invasive type. The proximal femoral nail, an osteosynthetic implant, has been investigated to produce positive heeling to ensure a better fixation, several advantages of PFN include such as bleeding time during operation which leads to the need to perform reaming on the femoral canal during surgery.
Material And Methods:
The study was carried out at three teaching Hospitals in Mosul City from the period of January 2022 to December 2022, fourteen nurses from orthopaedic wards were subjected to this study, all the nurses were evaluated by the checklist, and they attended the training program which was taken from the Iraqi Ministry of Health guide for organizing nursing operations and practices inside the hospitals and medical departments.
Results And Discussion:
More than (50%) of the study sample had a poor score in the initial evaluation for post-operative steps and after submitting the training program, the performance and practices of the nursing staff have improved significantly where the poor score decreased to approximately (25%) at P value (0.0001).
Conclusion:
The study concluded that there is a significant and clear weakness in the performance and practices of the nursing staff towards patients with upper femoral fractures in the fracture wards and that the training program that was given to them improved their performance and practices significantly and effectively.
