Nurse training aims to cut infections in young cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07345598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- educational training program (PowerPoint, video, hands-on practice with mannequin)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this training could improve nurse knowledge and reduce infections in children with central venous catheters.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 nurses, so results may not apply broadly. It measures knowledge and behaviors, not actual infection rates.
