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...
Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment01:25

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

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...
Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
Infection01:20

Infection

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...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Infection Prevention and Control
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Infection prevention and control (IPC) training is critical for patient and healthcare worker safety.
  • Simulation is a recognized educational tool in healthcare, yet its application in IPC is novel.
  • Experiential learning theory underpins the use of simulations for adult learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the gap in IPC simulation training.
  • To pilot and evaluate a mobile simulation training program for Infection Prevention.

Main Methods:

  • The Kentucky Infection Prevention Training Center (KyIP) implemented mobile simulation training for Infection Prevention.
  • Training was designed to be hands-on and conveniently located for learners.

Main Results:

  • A 29% response rate (72/247 learners) was achieved for the post-training survey.
  • Nearly all respondents indicated they would apply learned information (99%, p=0.001).
  • Respondents found the simulation impactful (96%, p=0.008) and reported increased confidence (89%, p=0.224).

Conclusions:

  • Mobile simulation training for infection prevention is beneficial and impactful for learners.
  • Further research is necessary to assess behavioral changes and impact on infection rates.
  • This mobile simulation model shows potential for scalable implementation across various healthcare environments.
