Abstract

Background: Percutaneous nephrostomy tube (PCN) is a widely utilized interventional procedure
for upper urinary diversion and decompression of the renal collecting system. Caring for patients
with a percutaneous nephrostomy is a critical component of nursing management to minimize
complications and improve the health status of those patients. However, there is inadequate
information for nurses as well as a lack of evidence and guidance (Buachuen S. (2022). The
study aimed to investigate the effect of the educational guidelines on nurses' performance
regarding percutaneous nephrostomy tube. Study design: A quasi-experimental design was used
to conduct this study (pre/post-test). Setting: The research was carried out in the urology
department at Suez Canal University Hospital. Sample: A convenient sample of 40 of all
available staff nurses working in the urology department. Tools of data collection: One tool was
used for data collection. Tool I: "Nurses' Performance Assessment Sheet" which was composed of
three parts; 1. Demographic data for nurses, 2. Nurse`s knowledge questionnaire and 3. Nurses
practice observational checklist. Results: The study result revealed that there was a highly
statistically significant positive correlation between total knowledge scores and total practice
scores of the studied nurses' pre and posts educational guidelines implementation regarding
percutaneous nephrostomy tube. Conclusion: It was concluded that the educational guidelines had
a positive effect on improving nurses' knowledge and practice regarding percutaneous
nephrostomy tube. Recommendations: Ongoing educational programs and in-service training
programs about the percutaneous nephrostomy tube should be provided to nurses to upgrade their
knowledge and skills.
