Abstract

Background: Clostridium difficile infection remains a significant challenge among nosocomial infections due to its evolving nature, posing critical issues for healthcare professionals. Aim of the Study: To evaluate the Role of Education and Training on Enhancing Nurses Compliance with Clostridium Difficile Infection Care Bundle, Research Design: A quasi-experimental study utilizing a pretest-posttest design. Setting: Intensive care units at Assiut University Hospital. Sample: A convenient sample of 60 critical care nurses working in the specified setting, assessed at two points—before and after implementing the educational program. Tools: Tool I: Demographic data of nursing staff. Tool II: Compliance with the Clostridium difficile infection care bundle. Results: Nurses' compliance with the Clostridium Difficile Infection  care bundle showed a significant improvement in Mean ± SD scores (8.0 ± 2.5 vs. 13.3 ± 2.2). Before the educational program, the compliance level was poor (66.7%), while after the program, it reached a good level (65.0%), with a statistically significant difference (P-value = .001). Conclusions: The educational program significantly enhanced nurses' compliance with Clostridium difficile infection control practices. Recommendation: Regular education and training for all Intensive Care Unit  nurses at Assiut University Hospital on the Clostridium Difficile Infection care bundle are essential to reduce Clostridium difficile infection rates in the Intensive Care Unit .
