INFECTION, PREVENTION AND CONTROL AMONG NURSES IN MUHAMMAD

ABDULLAHI WASE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL NASSARAWA,KANO STATE.

1. SUMMARY OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM

Infection,prevention and control is a crucial approach to protecting both patients and healthcare

workers from avoidable infections.effective IPC requires consistent effort at all levels of the

healthcare system,including policy makers,facility managers,and health care providers like

nurses.without proper IPC measures ,patients safety and health care quality are

compromised ,leading to serious harm and even more death (WHO,2020).

Studies in developing countries have shown that healthcare workers often have shown that

healthcare workers often have limited knowledge and poor compliance with infection,prevention

control (IPC)guidelines. (Trivanhun et al,2019) for example,in Zimbabwe,72% of nurses lacked

knowledge of infection control,And 42% failed to follow IPC standards (Trivanhun,2014) poor

IPC practices contributes to the spread of infections in hospitals making them high risk

environment for disease transmission among patients, healthcare workers and visitors (sydnor

and perl,2011) one major issue is the lack of proper infection,prevention practices among

nurses,which leads to hospital acquired infection (HAIs) (wondwossen,2015).

measures, particularly in Hospital like Muhammad abdullahi wase specialist hospital where

research is been conducted on this issue .

 Why Is The Research Problem Important

This study is important because it will evaluate nurses knowledge and adherence to infection

prevention and control at abdullahi wase specialist hospital.the result will help improve

compliance and enhance infection,control practices.

2. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE OR HYPOTHESIS

a. To assess the level of knowledge of nurse in infection prevention,and control at abdullahi

wase specialist hospital.

b. To identify the factor that influence compliance with infection prevention control among

nurses in the hospital.

c. To explore ways of improving compliance with infection prevention control among nurses at

the Hospital

 How Did The Objective Guided The study

The objective guided the study in several ways by

a. The study focuses on infection, prevention control among nurses at Abdullahi ease

specialist hospital ,ensuring a clear research direction.

b. The research questions are directly derived from the objectives ensuring consistency

between what the study aim to achieve

training programs to enhance IPC among nurses.

3. STUDY DESIGN AND JUSTIFICATION

 Determine what design the study used

This study used NON EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN

 Justify Why The Chosen Design Was Appropriate

The non experimental design was appropriate because

a. The study aims to assess the level of knowledge and compliance of nurses regarding

infection prevention control,it observed and analyzed existing conditions

b. The research objective focus on assessing knowledge level and suggesting ways to improve

compliance.

c. No intervention or control group:experimental and quasi experimental designs involve

interventions and control groups,which are not mentioned in this study. The study dose does

not introduce a new treatment or change existing practices but instead evaluates current

practices.

4. SAMPLE METHOD

 Describe the population targeted in the study

the management,total number of nurses in each ward from the record department were summed

up to 385.

 Identify The Sampling Techniques Used In This Study

The sample techniques was PROBABILITY, which means all the nurses were given equal

chances to be selected.

 Discuss The Sample Size And Its Adequacy For The Study

The sample size used for this study was 77 nurses,40 were women and 37 were men out of 385

nurses,A simple random sampling techniques was used for the selection of sample, A total of 77

samples were selected.

5. DATA COLLECTION METHOD

 Identify The Data Collection used

The research instrument used for data collection was a self structured questionnaire and a

checklist.

 Explain Why The Chosen Method Was Suitable

The questionnaire and check list will be found to be clear and understandable and necessary

corrections will be made before been administered to the respondents .

6. DATA ANALYSIS

 Identify If The Study Used Was Quantitative, Qualitative Or Mixed Method Analysis

The study used is QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS

The technique used for data analysis is DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICAL METHOD

7. KEY FINDINGS AND INTERPRETATION

 Summarize The Major Findings Of The Study

38.9% agreed with 39.9% that hospital acquired infections can be transmitted through medical

equipments and 35% of the respondent agreed that nosocomial infections are infections patients

comes with from home.

Also 52% of the respondent knows the WHO's five moments of hand hygiene it is

supported by chain of infection theory developed by IGNAZ SEMMCLWEIS(1818_1865) This

theory states that the chain work aligns with the " chain of infection " which describes the

sequential event necessary for an infection to occur.

32% of nurses reported an agreement on not been familiar with infection,prevention

guidelines hinders the compliance, also 38.9% of nurses agreed that not attending a professional

development program such as seminars and workshops play a vital role in hindering compliance

to infection,prevention control while 15.5% strongly disagree with that ,36.9% agreed that non

adherence to ethical standard on infection,prevention control hinders the compliance on the other

hand 19.4% disagree to that.

24. 6% of the respondent have agreed that improving training program will enhance

compliance to infection, prevention control while 19.4% disagree.it was also discovered that
45.6% agrees that collaboration practice can teamwork can significantly enhance prevention

and control among nursing staffs.

 Discuss How The Major Addressed The Research Problem And Objectives

The findings directly address the research problem and objectives by providing data on nurses

knowledge, identifying factors influencing compliance,evaluating the effectiveness of training.it

highlights both strengths and weaknesses in current IPC practices and provides valuable insight

for developing intervention to improve compliance and reduce HAIs.

8. DISCUSS THE REAL WORLD IMPLICATIONS OF THE STUDY

The real world implications of the study's findings encompass solving the pressing issue of

nosocomial infections ,benefiting patients,healthcare professionals and health care organisations

informing policy and decision making to develop effective guidelines and

protocols ,acknowledging potential challanges and limitations and ultimately aiming to improve

peoples lives by reducing the risk of infections,promoting better health outcomes and enhancing

the overall quality of care in healthcare setting.

 Reflect On What You Have Learned About The Research Process By Analyzing The

Study

Through analysing this study,we learned that the research process involves setting clear and

specific objectives, selecting an appropriate study design that aligns with the research

questions,collecting and analysing data rigorously using suitable methods,acknowledging and

addressing potential limitations adhering to ethical principles,and contributing to existing

knowledge to inform practice,policy and future research.
