| Study Evidence Source Details and Characteristics | |
| Citation details | Author/s, publication year, title, journal, volume, issue, pages |
| Design and setting | Study design, randomization, blinding, outcomes assessed, country |
| Participants | |
| Recruitment methods | Strategies used for participant inclusion, including eligibility and exclusion criteria. |
| Demographic information | Age, gender, length of hospitalization, and type of hospital unit. |
| Intervention | |
| Intervention information | Type of nursing intervention implemented for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) (e.g., hand hygiene, use of sterile barriers, infection prevention bundles, monitoring and auditing practices, disinfection of medical devices, and environmental hygiene). |
| Co-interventions | Other interventions associated with infection prevention, such as health education strategies, prophylactic antimicrobial use, or technological measures (e.g., ultraviolet light disinfection). |
| Comparison | |
| Comparison information | Implementation or absence of a structured hospital infection prevention program, comparing nursing intervention adherence and effectiveness with standard practice or no intervention. |
| Outcomes | |
| Outcome measured | Incidence rate of healthcare-associated infections, adherence to hygiene protocols, reduction in infection-related mortality and morbidity, reduction in hospital stay duration, reduction in readmission rates, reduction in infection treatment costs, environmental control, and patient satisfaction. |
| Definition/assessment metric | Methods used to assess outcomes, including epidemiological indicators, adherence rates to protocols, and patient satisfaction assessment tools. |
| Time of outcome assessment | Time of data collection for outcome evaluation (e.g., at hospital discharge, after a follow-up period). |
| Results | Results for the outcomes assessed. |
