Abstract

In bone marrow transplant (BMT) units, many nurses deliver this care without having received structured, transplant-specific training. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of specialized nurse education in enhancing nurses’ performance regarding bone marrow transplantation care, as well as patients' satisfaction. Methodology: A quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design at two specialized bone marrow transplant units: the Sheikh Zayed Specialized Hospital and the Oncology Centre at Mansoura University. A total sample of 98 nurses was evaluated for knowledge, practical skills, and attitude using validated instruments. The intervention consisted of four structured sessions supported by an Arabic-colored booklet. Additionally, 54 patients were recruited into two matched groups (n=27 each) to compare satisfaction before (Group A) and after (Group B) the nursing intervention. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 3 months later. Key findings: Baseline assessments revealed predominantly unsatisfactory practice (88.8%) and poor knowledge (60.6%). Repeated measure ANOVA confirmed significant improvements in knowledge, attitude, and practice across all assessment intervals (p < 0.001), with gain sustained at follow-up. Knowledge positively correlated with attitude and practice throughout the study. Furthermore, Group B reported significantly higher satisfaction scores across all subscales compared to Group A (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The transplant-specialized nursing education effectively addressed improvement in nurses’ performance and contributed to positive patient satisfaction.
