Hail Health Cluster, KSATitle: Assessment of the effectiveness of an educational program (Jahezon) on critical nursing care: A quasi-experimental study
Abstract
Objective: Competent and trained nurses are essential for critical care preparedness. This study assesses the impact of an educational training program (Jahezon) on the participants critical care knowledge by comparing their pre- and post-knowledge outcomes.
Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design to investigate 43 selected nurses from 16 hospitals who received 40 days of theoretical and practical training. The curriculum covered a comprehensive range of critical care nursing concepts and was divided into four phases. The instrument used to assess knowledge was a 50-item multiple-choice questionnaire, which was administered as a pre-test, post-test, and a 6-month follow-up test format. The data were analysed using SPSS v29.0.
Results: The mean total scores were the highest in the reassessment (M = 9.87, SD = 2.34), followed by the post-test (M = 7.57, SD = 0.98) and the pre-test (M = 5.91, SD = 1.06), showing a statistically significant difference (F(2, 117) = 64.834, p < .001). From the pre-test to the post-test, 93% of the total scores improved. The only demographic factor that affected the test scores was gender, with female nurses scoring higher.
Conclusions: The nurses knowledge improved significantly after their participation in the critical care training program, but more research is needed to determine their actual performance in caring for critically ill patients during a pandemic.
