Abstract | ||||
Background: Basic infection control precautions are essential in the healthcare context in neonatal intensive care units to reduce the occurrence of hospital-associated infections. A mind map is one of active learning strategies that facilitate learning, increase natural ability to think and expand memory recall. Aim: To determine the effect of using mind mapping about infection control on pediatric nurses' performance at neonatal intensive care units. Subjects and method: A quasi-experimental research design was carried out to fulfill the aim of the current study. Setting: the study was carried out at neonatal intensive care unit, Tanta Main University Hospitals. Subjects: The study included all available nurses (70) who are working at the above mentioned study setting. Tools: Two tools were used for data collection: Tool (I): Infection control and mind mapping questionnaire which consisted of three parts; part (1) sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses; part (2) nurses' opinion regarding the utilization of mind mapping strategy in education and training. part (3) nurses' knowledge about infection control and mind mapping strategy, Tool (II): Infection control observational checklists for nurse’s practices. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between pediatric nurses' total knowledge and performance regarding infection control pre and post application. Conclusion: The current study concluded that pediatric nurses' performance regarding infection control at neonatal intensive care units enhanced by the using of mind mapping strategy. Recommendations: The study suggested that mind mapping strategy should be implemented as an effective teaching technique for pediatric nurse education and training. | ||||
