Use of Care Bundles to Prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections in Intensive Care Units: Nurses' Views

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the views of nurses working in intensive care units regarding the use of care bundles in preventing healthcare-associated infections.
Methods: This study used the focus-group interview method, which is one of the qualitative methods. Two focus-group interviews, each lasting about half an hour, were conducted with 14 intensive care unit nurses. Qualitative data obtained from the interviews were recorded on tape and in note form. The interviews were then transcribed and analyzed. The transcribed data from the focus-group discussions were grouped by theme and concept, and the statements of the participants were coded numerically according to these groupings. Three themes and six subthemes emerged in analyzing the qualitative data. 
Results: The nurses defined care bundles as "materials that provide integrated care for patients". They also stated that their benefits included providing a tool for self-monitoring, support and guidance for both patients and nurses. When whether they had experienced any difficulties while using care bundles, they stated that they had not experienced any. Furthermore, nurses stated that care bundles improved their perspectives, and that they were must-have items in intensive care units providing reminders rather than a waste of time.
Conclusion: It is that the participation of nurses is important so that care bundles are used more widespread in order to prevent healthcare-associated infections in intensive care units.
