dc.description.sponsorshipThe central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) prevention bundle has proven to prevent CLABSI when all elements are utilized. While the bundle is evidence based, if nurses do not believe it is important, they are unlikely to use it. The purpose of the study was to describe the nurses’ opinions on the importance and utilization of the CLABSI prevention bundle with a view, at a later stage, to inform the infection control unit on what to consider when teaching and implementing the CLABSI prevention bundle. The study used a descriptive research design using a Q Methodology approach. Data was collected using a Q sort technique from thirty nurses in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The nurses had to sort a set of thirty statements about the CLABSI prevention bundle. Factor analysis was used to interpret data by means of the software PQ Method version 2.35 package. The results of the study revealed mixed opinions among the nurses in ICU. Some value aseptic technique during insertion of the central line. Some value maintenance of the central line, while some value some elements on both the insertion and maintenance of the central line. The study revealed that those elements that the nurses believe to be important, are the ones that they also utilize. Nurses opinions differ from one another and judging by their opinions, it is evident that not all CLABSI prevention bundle elements are believed to be important, nor are all bundle elements utilized. Recommendations have been proposed for nursing education, practice, management and research.en_ZA
