Context: Venous blood sampling withdrawal is a common invasive procedure performed for neonatesat
neonatal intensive care unit. So, neonatal nurses should be trained effectively to prevent unnecessaryriskandadverse events for neonates. Aim: To evaluate the effect of video assisted teaching intervention onnurses’performance regarding venous blood sampling withdrawal from neonates. Methods: The study was conductedusing a quasi-experimental design. Setting: The study was carried out at the Benha SpecializedPediatricHospital's NICUs and SNICU (Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) in Benha city. Sampling: Aconvenient
sample of nurses (70) who work in NICUs and SNICU as well as a convenient sample of neonates (70) fromthesetting mentioned above, regardless of their personal characteristics. Data collection Tools: The followingthree tools were utilized for data collection; Tool 1: A structured interview questionnaire for assessingnurses’personal characteristics, knowledge of nurses about venous blood sampling withdrawal. Tool 2: An observationchecklist for assessment of nurse practice towards venous blood sampling withdrawal. Tool 3: Nurses' attituderating scale towards venous blood sampling. Results: There were highly statistically significant differencesbetween total knowledge and total practice of the studied nurses pre and post-implementation of the trainingintervention. Also, the majority of the studied nurses had a positive attitude towards the venous bloodsamplingwithdrawal procedure post video training intervention Conclusion: Video assisted teaching interventionimproved nurses' knowledge, practice, and attitude level towards venous blood sampling withdrawal fromneonates. Recommendation: The study recommended that applying different types of electronic teachinginnursing education is an efficient method to improve performance of nurses, which reflected competenceandsafe neonatal care. |
