Assessment of knowledge and compliance to evidence-based guidelines for VAP prevention among ICU nurses in Tanzania.

Background: Implementation of evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) related to VAP is an effective measure for the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). While low knowledge regarding the EBGs related to VAP prevention among ICU nurses is still a major concern among nurses in ICUs globally, the situation in Tanzania is scarcely known. This study aimed to assess the ICU nurses' knowledge, compliance, and barriers toward evidence-based guidelines for the prevention of VAP in Tanzania.
