Project Summary

The Effectiveness of Multi-pronged Educational Intervention to the Registered Nurses in Influencing the Compliance with the Standard Precautions in Selected County Referral Hospitals in Kenya

Background: In spite of widespread adoption of Standard Precautions by organizations, gaps in their implementation by healthcare workers have been noted. (Powers et al., 2016). A variety of interventions including Multi-pronged Educational Intervention have been designed to promote implementation of Standard Precautions as the basis for infection prevention and control.

Objective:  To analyze the effectiveness of Multi-pronged Educational Intervention to Registered Nurses in influencing compliance with the Standard Precautions in Selected County Referral Hospitals

Methodology:  This was a prospective Quasi Experimental study. The respondents were registered nurses in the selected hospitals.  The instruments were self-administered Questionnaires and Observational schedule.  Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.  The study has employed both descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data.

Results:  The self-reported knowledge scores on the Standard Precautions were 58.5%.   The knowledge scores on the Standard Precautions increased from 57.7% to 66.2% in the study group after the educational intervention.  The self-reported compliance scores on the Standard Precautions were 48.8% for both groups combined after the interventions.   The self-reported compliance scores on the Standard Precautions improved from 46.3% to 73.8% in the study group after the educational intervention. The observed compliance scores on the Standard Precautions were 62.7%.  The observed compliance scores on the Standard Precautions increased from 61.3% to 67.6% in the study group after the educational intervention. Knowledge on the Standard precaution was a predictor to its compliance (AOR= 1.9, CI=1.1-3.6)

Conclusion: 

The study concluded that Multi-pronged Educational Intervention strategy is effective in influencing compliance with the Standard Precautions.

Recommendations:  This study recommends that the Multi-pronged Educational Intervention informs policy development, practice, Nursing Education curricula and Continuous Medical Education.
