Effectiveness of an Educational Program on Nurse's Knowledge About Craniotomies Complications

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an educational program was beneficial in improving nurses' understanding of craniotomy complications. The program aims to increase nurses' knowledge of the potential side effects of a craniotomy, such as infections, bleeding, and neurological abnormalities. A sample of nurses was randomly assigned to be tested in one group pre -post-test. The findings reveal a statistically significant increase in awareness of craniotomy complications in the experimental group compared to the control group, highlighting the value of the educational program in raising nurses' knowledge levels. By ensuring that nurses have the essential information, these findings have significant implications for improving patient outcomes and the standard of care.
