1Dokkyo Medical University, School of Nursing, Shimotsugagun, Tochigi 321-0293, Japan.
Nurses receiving specialized education demonstrated improved care for isolated patients with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). This training enhanced their understanding and observation of patient psychological states, reducing anxiety and depression.
Area of Science:
- Infection Control
- Nursing Education
- Patient Psychology
Background:
- Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) spread via healthcare worker contact.
- Isolated patients with MDROs require specialized nursing knowledge in infection prevention and psychological support.
- Current nursing practices may lack sufficient focus on the psychological well-being of isolated patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an educational program for nurses focusing on the psychological care of isolated patients with MDROs.
- To enhance nurses' skills in managing the psychological impact of isolation on patients with MDROs.
- To improve the quality of care for patients with MDROs through targeted nursing education.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental design was used to evaluate the educational program's effectiveness.
- The ADDIE instructional model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) guided program creation.
- Seventy-eight nurses participated, with 25 in the intervention group and 53 in the control group.
Main Results:
- Nurses in the program group showed significant behavioral changes (p < .05).
- Improved observation of physiological and psychological responses related to patient anxiety and depression was noted.
- The program effectively enhanced nurses' understanding of isolated patients' psychological states.
Conclusions:
- The educational program positively impacted nurses' understanding and behavior towards isolated patients with MDROs.
- Targeted education can improve nurses' ability to address the psychological needs of patients with MDROs.
- This approach holds potential for enhancing the quality of care for patients in isolation due to infections.
