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...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

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. Common...
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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:
Types of Reports II: Incident or Occurrence Report01:21

Types of Reports II: Incident or Occurrence Report

An Incident or Occurrence Report in a healthcare setting is a crucial document used to record any unexpected occurrence that may or may not have affected a patient, employee, or visitor. Such reports are critical to improving patient safety and include all details leading up to and including the event.
Purposes:
In the healthcare industry, reports play a crucial role in documenting incidents within an agency. The primary objective of these reports is to ensure patient safety, uphold the...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a significant global health burden.
  • Türkiye has a substantial body of academic research on HAIs, primarily in the form of theses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the distribution and publication rates of theses on HAIs in Türkiye.
  • To identify factors influencing thesis publication and propose strategies for improvement.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive search of the National Thesis Center (YÖKTEZ) database was conducted for theses on HAIs from 2000-2023.
  • Publication status of these theses was determined by searching national and international databases.
  • Data on thesis specialty, degree, publication year, and journal indexing were collected.

Main Results:

  • 1077 theses on HAIs were identified.
  • Only 40.1% of these theses were published in scientific journals.
  • Among published works, 41.4% were indexed in SCI, SCI-E, or ESCI.
  • No significant difference in publication rates was found across disciplines.

Conclusions:

  • A considerable number of HAIs theses in Türkiye are not being published, indicating a gap in knowledge dissemination.
  • There is a need to raise awareness and implement targeted strategies to enhance the conversion of theses into peer-reviewed publications.
  • Improving publication output will contribute to greater scientific productivity and impact in the field of HAIs research.
