Perioperative care measures included adherence to an established cardiothoracic SSI prevention bundle, consisting of preoperative chlorhexidine gluconate bathing, preoperative nasal decolonization, intraoperative antibiotics, and intraoperative and postoperative glycemic control.Results: Adherence to the prevention bundle varied (82.7-98.6%). A statistically significant difference in postoperative glycemic control was observed between elective and urgent surgery cases.Conclusion: This study's findings highlight the potential effect of rigorous protocol adherence and the critical role of standardized nursing care in SSI prevention.

Open-ended responses were summarized, coded, and analyzed thematically.Results: Findings indicated that nearly a quarter of participants (24.7%) had no intention to stay in their current job. Three key themes emerged as organizational factors for staffing stability including resident care as a top priority, rebuilding a healthy workplace, and open communication and professional development.Conclusion: The growing focus on recruitment and retention in LTC reflects its prevalence.
