Cross-sectional study assessed nurses’ knowledge of VAP prevention bundle in cardiac care units, indicating training needs.

About 80.6% of nurses demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the ventilator-associated pneumonia bundle, and factors influencing knowledge included workplace and training attendance.
Significant associations were found between workplace and attendance in VAP training with knowledge level, showing a strong dependency on training background and work environment.
A cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach was conducted in a cardiac care unit, involving 67 nurses with data collected using structured questionnaires.
The findings suggest improvements in VAP training could enhance knowledge levels among nurses, highlighting gaps in education and training for optimal patient care.

Mwiseneza et al. (2025) studied this question.
