Abstract : Background: One of the vital principle for preventing ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in the hospital is equipping healthcare worker by adequate knowledge regarding VAP prevention measures. Integration of electronic education into nursing education following growing awareness all-over the world help ICU nurses to incorporate evidence-based practice into daily care for critical ill patient. The Study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of electronic learning module in implementation of ventilator-associated-pneumonia prevention measures among intensive care unit nurses. Design of the study: Quantitative quasi experimental research design was used. Setting: The current study was conducted in intensive care unit of Al Noor Specialist Hospital in Makkah. Sample of the study: A convenience sample of 109 ICU nurses was recruited. The tool of this study: this study was conducted by using two tools; knowledge assessment tool and VAP bundle checklist. Result: It was found that nurses’ knowledge score before they were exposed to electronic learning module was graded as average (72.66%) while scores were improved after the exposure to electronic learning module to be high (96.2%) meaning that their knowledge has been noticeably improved. ICU nurse's poor practice was apparent before exposure to electronic learning module (61.73%), while ICU nurse's practice showed tremendous improvement (>99%) in the last observation. The difference between pre- and post-test observation was highly significant (P>0.005). Conclusion: The study revealed that electronic learning module in educating ICU nurses about VAP prevention were considerably effective. This was highlighted by high mean scores for VAP knowledge and practice after exposure to electronic learning module. Recommendation: Integrate orientation program for VAP prevention measures to new staff and continues professional development program for senior staff. Key words: Ventilator associated pneumonia - E- learning program -mechanical ventilator -ICU nurses – knowledge – practice.
