| Abstract | ||||
| Background: The ideal treatment for patients who suffer from sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease (SPSD) should lead to a cure with a rapid recovery period allowing a return to normal daily activities, with a low level of associated morbidity. Aim: To evaluate the effect of educational guidelines on surgical nurses' knowledge and practice regarding phenolisation dressing technique for patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. Design: Quasi-experimental research design was used in this study. Setting: The current study was conducted at the General Surgery Departments at Mansoura University Hospital. Subjects: A convenient sample technique of a total of 50 nursing staff working in the General Surgery Departments was recruited in the study. Three tools were used for data collection; Tool (1): Nurses' demographic characteristics; Tool (2): Nurses' knowledge about phenolisation dressing technique (pre/post), Tool (3): Nurses' practice about phenolisation dressing technique (pre/post). Results: The study result revealed that more than half of the studied nurses were between 20 to less than 30 years old and more than three fifths of the studied nurses were female. More than two-fifths of the studied nurses have a diploma from secondary nursing school. There was a highly statistically significant difference between the pre educational guidelines and post-educational guidelines regarding nurses' knowledge and practices about phenolisation dressing technique. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the total knowledge and total practice scores of the studied nurses regarding phenolisation dressing technique for patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. Conclusion: Educational guidelines had a positive effect on improving surgical nurses' knowledge and practice regarding phenolisation dressing technique for patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. Recommendations: Educational programs about the importance of phenolisation dressing technique should be provided to nurses working in surgical units. | ||||
