Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

4.9K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Antimicrobial Effectiveness

2.0K
The effectiveness of antimicrobial agents depends on various factors influencing their ability to eliminate microbial populations. Larger microbial populations require more time for complete eradication, emphasizing the importance of population size analysis when evaluating antimicrobial efficacy.Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents varies significantly. Highly resilient microorganisms include endospores, gram-negative bacteria, and non-enveloped viruses, while prions are exceptionally...

Clinical Significance of Antibiotic Resistance01:25

Clinical Significance of Antibiotic Resistance

25
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) presents a critical public health threat, arising from its capacity to resist β-lactam antibiotics due to acquisition of the mecA gene within the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). This gene encodes penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), which impairs binding efficacy of methicillin and other β-lactams. MRSA has evolved into distinct clonal lineages impacting humans and animals alike, reinforcing its significance within...

A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Antimicrobial Stewardship

Background:

  • Antimicrobial resistance necessitates robust antimicrobial stewardship (AS) programs.
  • Effective training in AS principles is crucial for future pharmacists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate an elective course on AS for pharmacy students.
  • To assess the course's impact on students' perceptions of AS principles.

Main Methods:

  • A 2-credit elective course was developed for P2 and P3 pharmacy students.
  • The course utilized pre-recorded lectures, primary literature, guideline reviews, and active learning strategies.
  • Student-led presentations and student-generated exam items were incorporated.

Main Results:

  • Student perceptions of AS understanding were assessed via pre- and post-course surveys.
  • Course assessments included pre-class assignments, active participation, group presentations, and examinations.
  • The blended learning approach, combining self-directed and group-based activities, was evaluated.

Conclusions:

  • The AS elective course positively influenced students' perceived understanding of AS strategies.
  • Integrating self-directed pre-class learning with in-class active learning enhanced student comprehension.
  • This educational model provides a framework for effective AS training in pharmacy curricula.
