Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.7K
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...

Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

2.1K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

158
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.3K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

  • Information Science
  • Sociology
  • Critical Race Theory

Background:

  • Dispersed literature on information work and practices.
  • Limited application of Critical Race Theory (CRT), specifically intersectionality and care work, in information science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and define the concept of intersectional information work practices (IIWP).
  • To examine the information-centric tasks of Black women carers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To illuminate the invisible labor of Black women carers through an IIWP lens.

Main Methods:

  • Exploratory, qualitative case study.
  • Context: COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
  • Theoretical framework: Critical Race Theory (CRT) with a focus on intersectionality and care work.

Main Results:

  • Identified a cluster of information-centric tasks (IIWPs) performed by Black women carers.
  • Documented engagement in seeking, scanning, searching, monitoring, finding, receiving, retrieving, using, and sharing information.
  • IIWPs encompassed health care, illness, treatment, wellness, logistics, and misinformation avoidance.

Conclusions:

  • The IIWP lens reveals the significant, often invisible, labor of Black women carers.
  • Highlights the critical need to analyze power, inequity, race, gender, and class within Information Science.
  • Advocates for a more inclusive and critical understanding of information practices.
