Abstract | ||||
Background: Fluid management of critically ill patients is a fundamental nursing practice. To provide high-quality patient care, nurses must be knowledgeable about administering and monitoring fluids and electrolytes. Aim to evaluate the effect of a fluid therapy program on nurses' performance at Intensive Care Unit Design: Quasi-experimental research design. Setting: Surgical ICU at Tanta Main University Hospital Subjects: convenience sample of 60 nurses. Tools: Data were collected using two different tools, Tool I, Nurses' Structured Interviewing Questionnaire. Tool II, Nurses′ Observational Checklist. Results: These results showed that most (90%) of nurses had an unsatisfactory level of practice pre-program, compared to over than three quarters (78.33%) had satisfactory level of practice post-program implementation. Also, the total knowledge score of the nurses and their practice were presented to be statistically significantly correlated post- program fluid treatment where p= (0.001). Conclusion: A fluid therapy program's implementation is a very effective way to raise nurses' practice and their knowledge levels. Recommendations: continuous training programs and adherence to evidence-based practices to achieve optimal patients care | ||||
