| Abstract | ||||
| Background: A mind map is an educational strategy for breaking down a large amount of information into manageable chunks and helping students absorb a huge amount of knowledge. An infection is the invasion of a susceptible host by potentially harmful organisms (pathogens), resulting in disease. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of the mind mapping strategy on nurses' knowledge and practice regarding infection control measures in the operating room. Subjects and method: Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to conduct this study. Setting: the study was conducted in the operating room at Beni-Suef University Hospital. Subjects: A convenient sample included all available nurses (60) who are working in the above mentioned study setting. Three tools were used for data collection: Tool (1): A structured interview questionnaire which consisted of two parts; part (I) nurses' demographic characteristics; part (II) nurses' opinions regarding the use of the mind map in training. Tool (2): Nurses' knowledge about infection control (pre/post), Tool (3): Observational checklist (pre/post). Results: The study result revealed that there was a highly statistically significant difference and improvement between the pretest and posttest regarding nurses' knowledge and practice. There was a highly statistically significant difference between total knowledge regarding mind mapping & the performance of the nurses. Conclusion: The study concluded that using a mind mapping strategy had a positive effect on improving nurses' knowledge & practice in the operating room. Recommendations: The study recommended that the mind map strategy should be integrated as an effective method of nurses' training. | ||||
