Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a condition related to irreversible kidney damage that
can further progress to end stage renal disease that treated with hemodialysis. Aim: To explore
the effect of video-assisted educational guidelines on nurses’ performance regarding infection
control measures for children undergoing hemodialysis. Design: A quasi-experimental research
design was used to achieve the aim of the present study. Settings: The study was conducted at
the Pediatric Hemodialysis Unit affiliated to Sohag University Hospital. Subjects: A convenient
sample of 50 nurses who worked in the previously mentioned settings. Tools: Two tools were
used for data collection. Tool 1: A structured interviewing questionnaire, it consisted of four
parts; part 1: Nurses' personal characteristics, part 2: Nurses’ knowledge regarding chronic
kidney disease, part 3: Nurses’ knowledge regarding hemodialysis, and part 4: Nurses’
knowledge regarding infection control measures during nursing care of children undergoing
hemodialysis; and Tool II: Observational checklist sheet to assess nurses' practice regarding
infection control measures for children undergoing hemodialysis. Results: The present study was
found that video-assisted educational guidelines resulted in a significant improvement in nurses'
total knowledge and practices about infection control measures for children undergoing
hemodialysis. Conclusion: It was concluded that there were statistically significant
improvements in nurses' knowledge and practices regarding infection control measures for
children undergoing hemodialysis post-video-assisted educational guidelines than preintervention. Recommendation: The study suggested that nurses caring for children undergoing
hemodialysis use video-assisted training guidelines to enhance and improve their knowledge and
