Abstract

Fall incidence among healthcare facility patients has recently become a patient safety issue. To date, instruments to measure nurses’ performance in preventing patient fall incidence have been lacking. This paper aims to report the first and the second phases of an instrument to measure the implementation of patient fall prevention by nurses working in hospitals’ inpatient units or wards. The instrument, Self-Reported Questionnaire: Implementation of Nurses in Inpatient Wards in Preventing Fall among Patients (INI-PFP), was developed using the scale development method. In the first phase, domain and item generation was identified, followed by content validity (panel of 11 experts from universities and hospitals) and readability test/ face validity of 14 inpatient nurses). The study initially generated 46 items from the instrument development process. The initial instrument was sent to 11 experts, assessing the items’ relevance, clarity, simplicity, and ambiguity. This stage reduced three items, with the remaining items’ S-CVI = 0.99 for the four categories. The 43 items were subsequently provided to 14 inpatient nurses from four hospitals in the readability test and face validity with 98,17% of the items’ clear instructions, ranging from 57%-100% of question agreement. From this stage, 13 items were re-written and brought to a second round of face validity involving eight nurses from two hospitals. The end of the face validity test considered the 43-Items INI-PFP were adequate to enter the final phase, including Construct Validity and the Psychometric Evaluation for its final validity and reliability.

Abstract

Hand hygiene compliance is a fundamental aspect of nursing practice and plays a critical role in preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Though literature highlight the importance of hand hygiene compliance, previous studies have not analyzed hand hygiene compliance based on nursing intervention type, especially in Indonesia. This study aims to assess the level of hand hygiene compliance among nurses at a hospital in South Sulawesi Province, based on nursing procedures outlined in the Ministry of Health Regulation No. 04 of 2022 on Technical Guidelines for Nursing Functional Positions. A descriptive quantitative design with an observational approach was employed. The study involved 57 nurses selected through quota sampling. Data were collected using a WHO-adapted hand hygiene observation sheet, documenting hand hygiene opportunities and corresponding nursing actions across three shifts: morning, afternoon, and night. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages, were used for analysis. Findings revealed that overall hand hygiene compliance among nurses was 61.30%, falling below the WHO standard of ≥85%. Notably, compliance was highest during wound care procedures, with rates ranging from 58.33% to 100%. However, adherence remained inconsistent across other nursing actions. The study concludes that while hand hygiene compliance is relatively high during wound care, consistent adherence should have been implemented across all nursing activities. This adherence aims to minimize infection risks, enhance patient safety, and ensure the delivery of high-quality nursing care.
