Overview

Quasi-experimental design improved CIPN knowledge and screening practices among nurses in Kenya, indicating the value of targeted training.

Key Points

  • Overall competency in managing CIPN increased significantly from a mean score of 32.5 to 46.1 with p < 0.0001.
  • Knowledge of chemotherapy agents associated with CIPN surged from 16.3% to 56.4%, with p = 0.0006 indicating substantial improvement.
  • Nurses' frequency of screening for CIPN rose from a mean score of 4.1 to 6.8, demonstrating increased effectiveness in practice.
  • Awareness of risk factors for CIPN and treatment options like duloxetine improved significantly, suggesting enhanced patient care.
