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...
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...
Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...

Area of Science:

  • Perioperative Nursing
  • Patient Safety
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Terminal handling procedures in operating rooms are crucial for patient safety and infection control.
  • The impact of nurses' self-efficacy on these outcomes is not well understood.
  • This study investigates the link between perioperative nurses' self-efficacy and terminal handling performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the association between perioperative nurses' self-efficacy and terminal handling outcomes.
  • To explore the mediating roles of team collaboration and perceived stress.
  • To identify potential areas for professional development to enhance operating room efficiency and safety.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective observational cohort study (STROBE framework) with 207 perioperative nurses.
  • Utilized the Nursing Professional Self-Efficacy Scale Version 2 (NPSES-2).
  • Assessed primary outcomes (completion time, accuracy, safety compliance) and secondary outcomes (infections, satisfaction, stress, collaboration).

Main Results:

  • Higher self-efficacy linked to shorter procedure times (18.3 vs 26.8 min), improved protocol accuracy (94.2% vs 86.4%), and enhanced safety compliance (96.7% vs 89.2%).
  • Higher self-efficacy associated with lower surgical site infection rates (3.2% vs 8.1%) and greater patient satisfaction (8.7 vs 7.2).
  • Team collaboration and reduced stress partially mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and improved outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Perioperative nurse self-efficacy is a significant factor in operating room terminal handling efficiency and safety.
  • Findings support professional development programs focusing on training, mentorship, and organizational support.
  • Further interventional studies are needed to confirm causal relationships.
