First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a training program for pediatric oncology nurses improves their knowledge and infection prevention behaviors when caring for central venous catheters (CVCs). Thirty nurses will receive education including a presentation, video, and hands-on practice. Their knowledge and observed practices will be measured before and after training.
