Tiivistelmä
Surgical site infection (SSI) is a healthcare-associated infection that is found in surgical patients. With ankles, being particularly susceptible due to their anatomical location and exposure to environmental contaminants, it is at high risk of SSIs. Surgical site disinfection is one among the interventions recommended to prevent surgical site infections that reduce the load of microbes that are on the skin. Nurses play a crucial role in SSI prevention through effective communication and right documentation in patient´s records. The aim of this thesis was to produce an educational video of ankle surgery site disinfection for perioperative nursing students to utilize for training at school and practical placement in the operating room. The purpose of this thesis is to educate the method and technique of ankle surgery site disinfection to nursing students and to promote preventing surgical site infections.
Since this is a functional thesis, a video was made during the thesis and sent to English-speaking nursing students of Laurea UAS for survey. The survey was conducted through a Microsoft questionnaire to ensure anonymity. The survey questionnaire consisted of 5 questions. The questionnaire did not ask for personal data and the authors were not able to see who the responders were. All the data was deleted after the survey was evaluated. There were 20 participants in the survey. While most respondents provided positive feedback, a few of the respondents proposed some suggestions for how the video may be improved. However, due to the author´s limitations on time, these improvements could not be taken into effect.
For further development of the video, it would be beneficial to collaborate with nurses for a more comprehensive understanding of the relevant subject matter. Additionally Finnish subtitle could be considered in educational videos for English-speaking nursing students who wish to work in Finnish operating theatres.
