How nurse training improves quality in intensive care units
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how changing nurses' behavior and using evidence-based practices can improve quality in intensive care units. It aims to help ICUs in low- and middle-income countries provide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether teaching nurses proven methods can lower the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection from breathing machines) in intensive care. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
This study tests a mobile app that teaches ICU nurses short lessons to help prevent lung infections in patients on breathing machines. It may improve patient outcomes and make care safer.
This study trains nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) in Bangladesh to use evidence-based practices to prevent complications like ventilator-associated pneumonia, pressure injuries, and bloodstream infections from central lines. It aims to improve patient safety and outcomes during ICU stays.
This study tests a training program for ICU nurses that includes case discussions to improve their skills and teamwork with doctors. The goal is to see if this training leads to better outcomes for patients on breathing machines.
This study tests a new method to prevent infections from central lines (special IVs placed in large veins) in intensive care units. If you have a central line in place for more than 24 hours, this research may help improve your safety by finding better ways to avoid catheter-related bloodstream infections.
This study looks at how nurses in intensive care units view leadership in infection prevention and how antibiotic resistance is tracked. If you are an ICU nurse, your input could help improve patient safety.
