Abstract

This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effects of training program on behavior and knowledge for preventing hospital-acquired pneumonia in older adult among registered nurses. The samples were 44 registered nurses working in wards providing care for elderly patients at a super-tertiary hospital and were equally divided into an experimental group (n = 22) and a control group (n = 22). The research instruments included the training program, a general information questionnaire, a behavior for preventing hospital-acquired pneumonia in older adult assessment form with a reliability of .91, and a knowledge for preventing hospital-acquired pneumonia in older adult test (a first set and a second set) with the reliabilities of .73 and .85, respectively. The implementation and data collection were conducted from December 2022 to April 2023. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, Mann-Whitney U test, paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and independent t-test.

The research results revealed that 1) after the experiment, the experimental group had statistically significantly higher mean scores of behavior and knowledge for preventing hospital-acquired pneumonia in older adult than those of before the experiment (t = 7.634, p < .001 and Z = -4.021, p < .001, respectively); and 2) after the experiment, the experimental group had statistically significantly higher mean scores of behavior and knowledge for preventing hospital-acquired pneumonia in older adult than those of the control group (t = 6.533, p < .001 and Z = -5.678, p < .001, respectively).

This research suggests that nurse executives should provide this training program for nurses in wards providing care for elderly patients. This will help nurses improve their behavior and knowledge for preventing hospital-acquired pneumonia in older adult.
