pubmed-article:9052110pubmed:abstractTextObtaining study leave is becoming difficult for clinical nurses in the current economic climate, but the need to develop new clinical skills and to maintain existing good practice remains of prime importance to patient care and will become mandatory with the advent of post-registration education and practice (PREP) in the UK. The ward is widely acknowledged as the best venue for learning clinical skills by nurse educationalists and for many nurses is the preferred learning environment. The feasibility of using a ward-based teaching package to enhance nurses' compliance with key infection control precautions (hand decontamination, the use of gloves and the safe handling and disposal of sharp instruments) was tested in a quasi-experimental research study conducted on matched surgical wards in a teaching hospital, controlling for variables likely to influence performance (knowledge, availability of resources to perform infection control, previous opportunity to develop infection control expertise and nursing workload). Nurses on two wards received the intervention (experimental group). The remaining wards, which received no intervention, operated as controls. The ward-based sessions consisted of a carefully planned sequence of theory and practical demonstration delivered to qualified nurses in the clinical environment at convenient times selected by the ward managers. Performance of infection control precautions was audited before the intervention and 3 months afterwards. The sessions were well evaluated and the clinical environment was considered suitable for teaching by the nurses, but heavy and unpredictable workload prevented the teaching programme from being implemented as planned. The analysis of covariance failed to detect any changes in performance between nurses in the control and experimental groups. The implications of the study findings are discussed to help develop creative new ways of strengthening ward-based educational programmes.lld:pubmed
