| Abstract | ||||
| The knowledge of healthcare workers towards kidney transplantation (KT) are fundamental in the development and sustainability of transplant programs. Healthcare workers can influence the willingness to improve their competences and nursing care of kidney transplantation recipients. The aim of this study was to assess the learning needs of nursing staff working in kidney transplantation unit at a university hospital. The research question was formulated: What are the learning needs of nursing staff working in kidney transplantation unit at a university hospital? A sample of convenience included all (sixty nurses) working in the kidney transplantation unit at New Kasser El-ainy teaching hospital which affiliated to Cairo University. Two tools were designed and utilized to collect data pertinent to the study: (a) Back ground data tool which contained sociodemographic and work related data. (b) Learning needs assessment questionnaire which include questions that assess nurse’s knowledge regarding preoperative care for patient undergoing kidney transplantation. The study results revealed that the studied subjects had unsatisfactory level of knowledge about kidney transplantation (basic, preparatory care before KT., and preparatory care for discharge). On the other hand they had satisfactory level of knowledge about care during the operation of KT. and post transplantation care. Conducting an in-service training program for nurses who works at the kidney transplantation unit is recommended. | ||||
