Abstract

Female urethral catheterization is a common nursing procedure using during patients hospitalization. Improper insertion can lead to urethral injuries & increase risk of urinary tract infections. Educating and training nurses provide skills based on knowledge and result in minimized catheter associated complications. The aim of the study is to find out the role of training program in improving nurses knowledge and performance skills of female urethral catheterization.The study was quasi-experimental study design was conducted in maternity hospital in Dohuk city-Iraq. A convenience sample of 31 nurses from different units was used to demonstrate the effect of training programs. A knowledge questionnaire & a performance skills checklist were used to collect the data. The study showed that 45.2% of the study nurses’, years of experience were less than 5 years and with diploma degree. The low level of nurses’ knowledge 74.2% was detected in pre-test while in post-test the good level of nurses' knowledge was increased to 83.9% as effect of training program. Moreover, 96.8% of the nurses scoring a low performance skills level in pre-test, while it was achieved that all nurses scoring good performance level at post-test.
