Previous studies in Thailand have not evaluated the effectiveness of a structured clinical nursing practice guideline (CNPG) in improving nurses’ knowledge, skills, and confidence, highlighting the need for a rigorously developed and evaluated CNPG. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a CNPG in improving nurses’ knowledge, skills, and confidence in managing IICP among patients with TBI and to explore nurses’ perceptions of its feasibility, optimality, and benefits. Methods: A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was employed. The quantitative phase used a pre–post design and was conducted from February to September 2024. The intervention involved implementing an IICP CNPG among 45 registered nurses in two neurological wards at a tertiary hospital in eastern Thailand. Data were collected using four validated instruments: the Nurses’ Knowledge on IICP Questionnaire, Clinical Skills Observation Checklist, Self-Confidence Scale for IICP Care, and Nurses’ Perception of CNPG Questionnaire. In the qualitative phase, 20 nurses participated in two focus group discussions, which were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Results: Nurses showed statistically significant improvements in knowledge, clinical skills, and self-confidence following CNPG implementation (all p < .001). Perceptions of the CNPG in terms of feasibility, optimality, and benefits significantly exceeded the standard benchmark (all p < .001). Eight qualitative themes were identified, highlighting the roles of evidence-based knowledge, repeated training, structured protocols, interprofessional collaboration, and refresher training in enhancing the consistency, confidence, and quality of IICP care. Conclusion: The CNPG was feasible, effective, and well accepted among nurses, leading to significant improvements in knowledge, clinical skills, and self-confidence in IICP management. Future research should examine its long-term impact and effectiveness across diverse clinical settings. }, issn = {2406-8799}, doi = {10.14710/nmjn.v16i2.78130}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/medianers/article/view/78130} }
