Educating Nursing Staff on Urinary Tract Infections
Eldarada R. Searcy
ProQuest LLC, D.N.P. Dissertation, Walden University
The primary objective of this doctor of nursing practice (DNP) project was to educate staff on urinary tract infection (UTI) prevention. A gap in practice was identified among nursing staff at an assisted-living facility who lacked current, evidence-based knowledge. This project was conducted to determine whether educating staff on UTI prevention increased their knowledge. Knowles's adult learning theory and the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation model were used as the theoretical framework that guided this project. Eighty-eight health care workers at the project site voluntarily participated in this project. Before the education session, a 10-question, multiple choice pretest was administered to the participants. Following a 60-minute PowerPoint presentation, a posttest was administered. A paired sample t test was used to compare the participants' mean scores before and after the intervention, and the findings demonstrated a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). The recommendations from this project underscored the imperative for nursing education on UTIs. By optimizing the nursing process through education, nurses can be confident in adhering to current protocols, thus improving outcomes for older residents with UTIs. This DNP project can positively impact social change through promoting targeted educational interventions that can effectively bridge knowledge gaps and improve clinical practices related to UTI prevention among nursing staff.
