Effects of Multi-strategy Evidence-based Education Training Programs on Knowledge, Attitude, and Preventive Behavior Towards Surgical Smoke Hazards Among Operating Room Nurses
Sponsor: Chang Gung University of Science and Technology
Summary
This study aims to: 1) develop an evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program on surgical smoke, and 2) investigate the effectiveness of the "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program" on operating room nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors concerning the hazards of surgical smoke. The research questions of this study are as follows: What are the levels of knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors regarding surgical smoke hazards among operating room nurses? What is the effect of an "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program" on operating room nurses' knowledge of surgical smoke hazards? What is the effect of an "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program" on operating room nurses' attitudes toward surgical smoke hazards? What is the effect of an "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program" on operating room nurses' preventive behaviors regarding surgical smoke hazards? The experimental group received the "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program on surgical smoke," while the control group received the conventional training on surgical smoke. Measurements were taken three times: a pretest, a post-test one week after the course, and a follow-up test four weeks later. The research tools included a self-designed questionnaire that included scales on knowledge, attitudes toward surgical smoke, and self-protective behaviors.

evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program on surgical smoke
Based on evidence from the literature, the content of the evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program includes: Providing a surgical smoke protection handbook and displaying environmental education posters. Using an official LINE account to disseminate knowledge about surgical smoke, protective techniques, and related information. Organizing a hands-on workshop on surgical smoke hazard prevention, allowing participants to practice operating smoke evacuation equipment.
