It’s ! This week we’re spotlighting a CONJ study:

"Effect of an educational intervention on adherence to hand hygiene among patients undergoing chemotherapy: A quasi-experimental study" from authors Shenia Aminpanah, Kaveh Bahmanpour, Bijan Nouri, Sina Valiee.

The intervention group showed major improvements in perception, performance, and overall adherence—though infection rates remained the same between groups.

The study supports implementing multifaceted strategies to strengthen patient hand-washing behaviour in oncology care.

C’est le ! Cette semaine, nous mettons en lumière une étude du CONJ :

"Effet d’une intervention éducative sur l’adhésion à l’hygiène des mains chez les patients recevant une chimiothérapie : une étude quasi expérimentale" par Shenia Aminpanah, Kaveh Bahmanpour, Bijan Nouri et Sina Valiee.

Le groupe d’intervention a montré des améliorations importantes de la perception, de la performance et de l’adhésion globale — mais sans changement dans les taux d’infection.

L’étude soutient l’importance d’interventions multifactorielle pour renforcer les comportements d’hygiène des mains en oncologie.

It’s — spotlighting a compelling article from the latest issue of the Canadian Oncology Nursing Journal.

In “Clinical judgment during the nursing process in oncology care: An almost experimental study”, researchers found that an educational intervention in a high-complexity cancer care setting led to meaningful improvements in oncology nurses’ clinical judgment—especially in data prioritization, sense-making of patient information, flexible intervention planning, self-analysis/reflection and a deepened commitment to quality improvement.

For oncology nursing practice and leadership, this study offers actionable insights.

Pour la pratique infirmière en oncologie et le leadership en soins, cette étude apporte des enseignements concrets.
