Summary

The goal of this experimental study is to evaluate if an educational intervention can improve nurses' knowledge and practice in caring for patients with implanted Port-A-Catheters among oncology nurses directly involved in chemotherapy care. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Will the educational program improve nurses' knowledge regarding Port-A-Catheter care? Will the educational program positively impact nurses' practical skills and reduce complications related to Port-A-Catheter management? Researchers will compare pre-intervention and post-intervention performance to see if the educational program leads to better knowledge and practice outcomes.

Participants will:

Attend a theoretical training session on Port-A-Catheter fundamentals, including its use, benefits, and common complications.

Engage in a practical session, involving demonstrations and supervised practice of Port-A-Catheter care, such as insertion, flushing, and removal.

Be evaluated before the intervention, immediately after, and at 2 weeks post-intervention to assess improvements and retention of knowledge and skills.

PortCare Professional Training Program

The intervention is a targeted educational program to enhance oncology nurses' skills in managing Port-A-Catheters for chemotherapy patients. It includes a preparatory phase to assess baseline knowledge and practices, followed by an implementation phase with theoretical and practical training. Theoretical sessions cover device basics and care guidelines, while practical sessions provide hands-on training on procedures like catheter insertion, flushing, and removal. This program aims to improve patient safety, reduce complications, and boost nurses' confidence in Port-A-Catheter care.
