Intervention model description: This study is a single-center parallel-group randomized controlled clinical trial. Participants who accepted to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria will be assigned to the intervention (n=35) or control group (n=35) according to the computer-based randomization table.
Primary purpose: OTHER

Brief summary: The goal of this type of study: clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of educational practices on catheter-associated infection control measures on surgical nurses. The main question it aims to answer are:

* Is there a difference between the knowledge and attitude levels of surgical nurses receiving and not receiving catheter-related infection control training on preventing peripheral and central catheter-related bloodstream infections?
* Is there a difference between the knowledge and attitude levels of surgical nurses receiving and not receiving catheter-related infection control training to prevent catheter-related urinary tract infections?

The main tasks that the participants will be asked to do will be explained and their consent will be obtained. The two research groups will be compared.

Detailed description: This study will be conducted with a total of 70 nurses working in the surgical clinics of a city hospital in Istanbul and meeting the inclusion criteria. Nurses who meet the inclusion criteria of the study will be divided into two groups: intervention (n=35) and control group (n=35) according to the randomization method created with computer-based random numbers. Nurses in the intervention group will be given face-to-face training on evidence-based catheter-related infection control measures. The content of the training program will also be given to the participants as written material (brochure). The training will take an average of 30 minutes. Routine in-service training practices will be given to the control group. Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Peripheral and Central Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Prevention Knowledge and Attitudes Scale, and Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections Control Precautions will be used in data collection. Data will be collected from all participants before, immediately after, and three months after the training practices.
