Abstract

Background: Clinical care and nursing skills are important issues that can influence the efficacy of treatment, the health of patients, and medical errors. The aim of this study was to investigate the readiness of medical staff in the field of effectiveness and evaluation of clinical care and nursing skills.

Materials and methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed on 99 medical staff working in hospitals from August 2020 to December 2021. The instrument used was a checklist for the effectiveness and evaluation of clinical care based on the findings of the nursing reports. Data were analyzed by statistical software.

Results: The mean age of nurses was 37.5 years. Among the participants, 16.3% were male and 85.7% were female; 56.6% of nurses had completed clinical care. The overall performance of nurses in drug-related care and nursing processes was observed to be acceptable. Nurses were successful in performing many aspects of the nursing processes of repulsion, absorption, and dressing and showed good preparation. In relation to gavage, a high percentage of nurses performed the procedure well. However, in some cases, such as medication-related care, handwashing, and the use of personal protective equipment, where there is a possibility of touching the blood or other body fluids of the patients, the performance of nurses was moderate.

Conclusion: The findings of this research demonstrated that there are limitations, strengths, and weaknesses in terms of some aspects such as medication, care and nursing processes, compliance with standards, and infection control, which can be considered to improve the performance of nurses in the future.
