Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

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...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.0K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

11.9K
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...

Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

1.9K
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...

Infection01:20

Infection

8.0K
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...

Teeth01:15

Teeth

445
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted healthcare professionals worldwide.
  • Dentists faced unique challenges regarding infection risk perception and patient care continuity.
  • Understanding these impacts is crucial for future pandemic preparedness in oral healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dentists' perception of infection risk.
  • To identify factors influencing infection risk perception among dental professionals globally.
  • To analyze differences in routine versus emergency dental care provision during the pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • A global cross-sectional survey of 52,491 dental professionals across 36 countries.
  • Utilized a standardized questionnaire focusing on COVID-19 infection risk perception.
  • Employed logistic regression analysis with Likert scale responses and treatment type as variables.

Main Results:

  • European and Asian dentists reported higher perceived infection risk at work compared to other regions.
  • Dentists in high-incidence countries providing routine care experienced greater infection risk concerns.
  • A significant proportion of American dentists treated only emergencies, unlike European and Asian counterparts.

Conclusions:

  • Geographical origin and the nature of dental procedures significantly influence dentists' COVID-19 infection risk perception.
  • Maintaining high hygiene standards is vital, but dentists' concerns regarding infection risk require serious attention.
  • Dental professionals are essential for oral health and require support during health crises and future pandemics.
