Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

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 create...
Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

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...
Asepsis01:28

Asepsis

The condition of being free from disease-causing living pathogens is asepsis. Aseptic techniques include a set of standard practices to achieve asepsis. An example is the regular environmental cleaning of all parts of the healthcare facility and hand hygiene at home before preparing or eating food. Medical and surgical asepsis in healthcare practice protects patients from harmful pathogens, minimizes the risk of contamination of susceptible sites, and reduces the risk of infection transmission.
Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

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 Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

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...
Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets01:17

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Infection Control
  • Surgical Safety

Background:

  • Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a major complication, increasing hospital stays and delaying recovery.
  • Current guidelines lack focus on interdisciplinary implementation of SSI prevention in operating theaters.
  • Optimal interdisciplinary strategies for SSI prevention require further research and evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To map the research landscape of interdisciplinary strategies for reducing SSIs.
  • To analyze the diversity and nature of studies on these interventions.
  • To assess the impact of interdisciplinary approaches on SSI prevention effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review using Joanna Briggs Institute methodology.
  • Searches of Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and reference lists (2016-2024).
  • Inclusion of studies on surgical teams, interdisciplinary strategies, and adult surgical procedures, using various research designs.

Main Results:

  • 1679 papers were initially identified.
  • 45 papers were selected for detailed analysis by 5 independent reviewers.
  • Selection process concluded in November 2024.

Conclusions:

  • Emerging interdisciplinary strategies hold significant potential for reducing SSI incidence.
  • Findings will inform a global project on standardized preoperative protocols.
  • Results will guide subsequent qualitative and quantitative studies on clinical integration and effectiveness.
