Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.6K
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...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

4.2K
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.

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

3.2K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

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...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs are crucial for combating antimicrobial resistance.
  • Effective AMS relies on robust education and interprofessional collaboration among healthcare providers.
  • Interactive workshops can foster collaborative learning environments for AMS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the suitability and sustainability of a newly developed interprofessional AMS workshop.
  • To gather feedback on the workshop's content, structure, and impact on participants' knowledge and skills.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot interactive interprofessional workshop on antimicrobial stewardship was conducted in a tertiary hospital.
  • Feedback was collected using a predesigned questionnaire with open-ended and closed questions.
  • The survey achieved a 70% response rate (n=16).

Main Results:

  • All participants agreed the workshop goals were met and enhanced their AMS knowledge and skills.
  • The workshop content and delivery met participant expectations.
  • Participants found interprofessional learning advantageous, anticipating improved patient care and teamwork.

Conclusions:

  • The piloted AMS educational workshop demonstrated significant value to the antimicrobial stewardship program.
  • Positive participant feedback and planned changes support the workshop's suitability and sustainability.
  • Targeted educational interventions are effective in strengthening AMS initiatives.
