Description
Background: Infection prevention strategies, such as applying
the bundle's principle, play a vital role in surgical wound care.
However, limited studies assess nurse compliance with these
standards. Investigating compliance is crucial to understanding
its impact on post-operative wound infection. This study
examines how nurse adherence to the bundle's principle
influences wound infection during the healing process.
Methods: A before-and-after study was conducted at a secondlevel hospital in Indonesia over three months. Using total
sampling, 100 nurses meeting inclusion criteria (adults with
over one year of experience and training in bundle strategies)
participated. Patients were selected through accidental
sampling and included adults with non-infectious surgical
wounds and no complications. The bundle's principle was
implemented from the third to the sixth postoperative day, with
infection signs assessed afterward. Instruments included
demographic data, compliance checklists, and wound infection
assessments. Data were analyzed using logistic regression.
Results: Gender did not significantly affect wound infection
occurrence (OR 0.39, *P* = 0.092). Nurse compliance and
work length showed a significant association with infection
prevention (OR 4.47, *P* = 0.006). Educational background
was not significantly associated with compliance (OR 2.11, *P*
= 0.409).
Conclusion: Nurses' compliance with the bundle's principle
significantly reduces post-operative wound infections, promoting effective healing. Factors like gender, work length, and educational background contribute equally to postoperative wound care outcomes.
