Enhancing Nosocomial Infection Control through the Implementation of High-Quality Nursing Practices
Background:
Nosocomial infections pose a significant global health challenge. Effective nursing management plays a pivotal role in hospital administration, with the quality of nursing closely linked to nosocomial infection rates.
Objective:
This study explores the impact of implementing high-quality nursing practices on nosocomial infection control.
Design:
A randomized controlled experiment was conducted.
Setting:
The study was conducted at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.
Participants:
Between December 2021 and December 2022, 120 hospitalized patients were selected and randomly assigned to the control and research groups, each comprising 60 patients.
Interventions:
The control group received routine nursing, while the research group received high-quality nursing.
Primary Outcome Measures:
(1) Infection incidence rate, (2) psychological state of patients, (3) bacterial culture qualified rate, (4) health knowledge awareness, (5) nursing quality, (6) quality of life, and (7) patient satisfaction.
Results:
The research group exhibited a significantly lower infection incidence rate compared to the control group (P < .05). No significant differences were observed between the groups before nursing (P > .05). Post-nursing, SAS, and SDS scores decreased in both groups, with a more pronounced reduction in the research group (P < .05). The research group demonstrated an increased qualified rate of bacterial culture in various environments compared to the control group (P < .05). After nursing, both groups showed higher scores in disease knowledge, nosocomial infection knowledge, treatment and rehabilitation knowledge, and self-care management knowledge, with the research group scoring higher than the control group (P < .05). Quality of life scores, nursing quality scores, and nursing satisfaction were all higher in the research group compared to the control group (P < .05).
Conclusions:
High-quality nursing practices emerge as the preferred choice in nosocomial infection control and prevention. It prioritizes patients' wishes and needs, offers comprehensive services, and respects patient autonomy; these measures contribute to a substantial reduction in nosocomial infections.
