Abstract
Adequate knowledge among nursing professionals toward hospital infection control measures related to hemodialysis (HD) services is essential to decrease infection among patients. This study assessed nursing professionals' knowledge about hospital infection control measures related to HD services and the effect of training interventions. It was a single group, a pre-post-interventional study conducted on nursing professionals of a single apex medical college of Haryana. A pretested questionnaire consisting of two parts was used as a study tool. Various statistical tests such as paired <i>t</i>-test and Pearson's correlation were used. The pre-intervention group had a lower mean knowledge score (mean knowledge = 90.2786, strongly disagree [SD] = 15.52682, standard error [SE] = 1.09518) and then the post-intervention mean knowledge score (mean knowledge = 137.5622, SD = 9.72252, SE = 0.68577). The training program or educational intervention proved very useful for enhancing nursing professional's knowledge about hospital infection control measures related to HD services.
