Boosting knowledge, attitudes, and practices: An experimental controlled study evaluating the effectiveness of m-health training on antimicrobial resistance for hemodialysis nurses.

ABSTRACT:

Aim/objective

To evaluate the impact of an m-health training program on nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning antimicrobial resistance within hemodialysis units.

Background

Hemodialysis patients face high infection risks, driving antimicrobial use and resistance. Nurses' antimicrobial resistance knowledge gaps underscore the need for effective training.

Design

A parallel group randomized controlled trial.

Methods

A convenience sample of 64 nurses was cluster-randomized into either an m-health group (n = 32) or a control group (n = 32).
