“…El tema es de mayor importancia cuando se trata de trabajadores de la salud (2,6) . Precisamente, nuestra población de estudiantes de pre-clínica es la adecuada para que haga conciencia del riesgo de exponer a sus pacientes (infección intra hospitalaria), y a ellos mismos de adquirir un proceso infeccioso, sino se cumple con el protocolo de higiene de manos, como lo refiere Repam (7) .…”

En relación a los hábitos de higiene, el 74% mostró una actitud apropiada. La actitud a la higiene fue apropiada en el 41,3% y 46% en relación a la prevención de contagio. Se aislaron los siguientes microorganismos patógenos: S.aureus con 20 casos (60,6%), P. aeruginosa, Enterobacter y S.viridans, uno en cada caso.

“…Most importantly, inadequate training on hand hygiene and poor commitment to infection prevention control (IPC) were significant predictors of COVID-19 (El-Sokkary et al, 2021). Although Egypt has had a successful national infection prevention control ( IPC) program for more than twenty years (Talaat et al, 2006), there is still an inadequate commitment to infection prevention control (IPC) and hand hygiene practices (Yousef et al, 2020). Specific measures should take place on national and facility levels to improve infection prevention control (IPC) practices, screen all healthcare workers for clinical signs of COVID-19 at the start of each shift to exclude healthcare workers from work when infected, and prevent healthcare workers with comorbidities working in high-risk places.…”

Background: COVID-19 pandemic constituted significant challenges in obstetric and pediatric health care services. Maternity and paediatrics staff are at high risk of occupational exposure to Covid-19, predominantly among pregnant women and children often asymptomatic for Covid-19 so that infections may go unrecognized. Staff development programs regarding infection prevention and control using nursing evidence-based practice regarding the covid -19 pandemic in the obstetrics -gynaecology and paediatrics wards were part of the needed response. Aim: Evaluate the effect of the staff development program on Nursing Evidence-Based performance regarding the Covid -19 pandemic in the obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics departements. Methodology: A quasi-experimental method and an interventional pre and post-test were used to study a sample of 112 nurses. A purposive sample technique was used to choose the sample from the obstetricsgynaecology and paediatrics departements using 4 tools to collect the data Results: The findings revealed a marked improvement in nurses' Knowledge of COVID-19 post-implementation of the program compared to pre-intervention. 79.5 % of the studied sample have good Knowledge regarding Covid-19 post implementation of the program, compared to 38.4 % pre-implementation. Also, 26.0% of them carried out the practice needed for Covid-19 most of the time post-program compared to 4.5% post program, and 28.0 % of the studied sample had a positive attitude regarding Covid-19 post implementation program, compared to 17.0 pre-implementation. Moreover, 91% of them were satisfied with the program compared to 9% dissatisfied. Conclusion: Translating evidence into practice during a Covid-19 pandemic to establishing a staff development program is the best possible provision of healthcare and guarantees preventive measures for the healthcare providers and is critical in facing Covid-19 and working in the complete chain of health care.Recommendations: A staff development program related to Covid-19 must be periodically held for maternity and pediatric health staff.
