Intensive care nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards catheter-related bloodstream infections and evidence-based nursing: results from a descriptive and cross-sectional survey conducted in a hospital in Türkiye.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIntensive care units pose a risk for catheter-related infections because they are the setting of frequent catheter use. This study aimed to determine intensive care nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections and their attitudes towards evidence-based practices.
methodsThis descriptive and cross-sectional survey was conducted between June and October 2021 among 148 nurses working in the adult intensive care units of a hospital in Istanbul. Data were collected using a descriptive characteristics form, the Peripheral and Central Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Prevention Knowledge and Attitude Scale, and the Attitude Towards Evidence-Based Nursing. Data were analysed with Pearson correlation test, linear regression analysis, t-test and ANOVA test.
resultsA significant (148/162) portion of the intensive care nurses participated in the survey, with a response rate of 91%. Among the participants, 83.8% had received training on preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections. The nurses had good knowledge and attitudes towards preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections (62.80 ± 4.78) and moderate attitudes towards evidence-based nursing (48.30 ± 4.40). A weak positive correlation was found between knowledge and attitude towards preventing catheter-related infections total score and attitudes towards evidence-based nursing total score (r = 0.334, p < 0.001). The change in total knowledge and attitudes towards preventing catheter-related infections score explained 10.6% of the variation in total attitude towards evidence-based nursing score (R
conclusionThe increase in nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections was associated with better attitudes towards evidence-based nursing. It is recommended that continuing education be provided to nurses on evidence-based practices, including catheter-related infection precautions. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
