Abstract

Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) infection is a serious significant threat to public health. The patient is important for reducing MDROs infections. This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effects of using a video media on knowledge and practices in prevention of MDROs among patients. .The sample consisted of 60 patients undergoing treatment in the medical units of a general hospital during March 2020 to June 2021. The sample was divided equally in two groups which consisted of the experimental group and the control group. The research instruments include the video media for MDROs infection prevention for patients, a demographic data questionnaire, a knowledge test, a practice observational recording form and a preventing MDROs infections of practice questionnaire, all of which were validated by six content experts. The content validity index of the knowledge test, the practice observational recording form and the preventing MDROs infections of practice questionnaire were 0.96, 0.96, and 0.98, respectively. The reliability of the knowledge test, the practice observation form and the practice questionnaire were 0.83, 1.00, and 0.93, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. The research findings revealed that after receiving knowledge about prevention of MDROs infection from the video media, the experimental group had mean knowledge score increased from 19.77 to 24.20 out of 25 points (p <.001) which was higher than the control group with a knowledge score of 20.00 points (p < .001). The experimental group had mean practice score increased from 38.37 to 51.47 out of 54 points (p < .001), higher than the control group with a practice score of37.77 points (p < .001). The experimental group had correct practices percent increased from 17.47% to 94.80% (p = 003) which was higher than the control group, with a correct practice percent of 33.70% (p < .001). The results of the study showed that the video media about prevention of MDROs infection is effective to increase knowledge and practices in patients. This video should be implemented to promote knowledge and practices in prevention of MDROs infections in other hospitals.
