Full description

Nurses are frontline practitioners in the fight against COVID-19. Empowering nurses through training for infection prevention for COVID-19 is an essential step to facilitate nurse leadership and safety in the hospital. There is immense reliance on nurses with regard to patient safety, yet very little effort is made to invest in interventions for their leadership roles in developing countries, including Pakistan. In this study the aim is to deliver an intervention for COVID-19 preventive protocols to nurses and assess the impact of the intervention through a pre and post-test survey. A total of 200 nurses will be sampled. A 100 nurses each will be part of the control and experiment group each.

The data will be analyzed using SPSS. Pre and post test results will be presented using descriptive data and bivariate regression will be used to present higher odds of confidence in preventive and awareness literacy for COVID-19 in nurses after intervention delivery. Through this research the aim is to improve nurse leadership in maintaining minimum service delivery standards for hospital infection control with respect to COVID-19; but also other infectious disease burden management.
