Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

14.5K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

4.8K
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...

Infection

14.0K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Stages of Infection

66.6K
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

6.5K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Student nurses require comprehensive information for academic projects.
    • Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) pose significant challenges in healthcare settings.
    • Existing literature on the specific implications of HAIs may be limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and gather published articles and research on the implications of hospital-acquired infections.
    • To address a gap in accessible literature for student nursing projects.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature search conducted at RCN central library and institutional library.
    • Identification of a perceived scarcity of relevant research materials.

    Main Results:

    • A significant lack of readily available literature on hospital-acquired infections was identified.
    • Further research and resource compilation are needed to support student projects.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a need for increased accessibility and dissemination of research on hospital-acquired infections.
    • Healthcare institutions and libraries should review and expand resources on critical topics like HAIs.
