Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Care-oriented group
Care-oriented practical training intervention is a 2-hour care-oriented applied group training program for intensive care nurses in groups of 13-15 people.
Behavioral: Care-oriented Practical Training
The training content includes evidence-based practice recommendations for intensive and critical care, hand hygiene, hygiene practices in patients with special needs, and prevention and control of common HAIs. In the first stage of the training, practical training will be given by the intensive care coordinator and infection control nurse on the application model. In the second stage, patient care practices of a care team consisting of an intensive care nurse and care support staff will be observed. The training will be conducted interactively with narration, demonstration and question and answer techniques.
