Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of a self-instructional module regarding ventilator-associated pneumonia care bundle prevention on internship students' knowledge and clinical performance in pediatric intensive care unit.The hypotheses of this study were as follows:

Internship students who are taught by VAP care bundle prevention self-instructional module exhibit higher scores in knowledge test about VAP care bundle prevention than those who are not.
Internship students who are taught by VAP care bundle prevention self-instructional module exhibit higher scores in performing the VAP care bundle prevention procedure than those who are not.
Internship students who are taught by VAP care bundle prevention self-instructional module exhibit more positive feedback about it than those who are not.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Nursing Interns' Knowledge [Before data collection, immediately after and after three months of the clinical experience]
total score ranged from 0 to 30 distributed as follows: Low knowledge level <60% of the total score, Moderate knowledge level from 60% to <75% of the total score, High knowledge level ≥75% of the total score.
Nursing Interns' performance [Before data collection, immediately after and after three months of the clinical experience]
Total score ranged from 16 to 32 and distributed as follows: Iow performance <60% of the total score, Moderate performance ranging from 60% to <75% of the total score, High performance for the score ≥75% of the total score.
Self-Instructional Module Feedback [immediately after VAP care bundle prevention self-instructional module]
It consists of 10 statements with 4 points Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (4). The higher score, the more positive feedback.
