英文摘要
|
Hospitals are densely populated places. Cluster infection occurs easily if patients have symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) and control measures are not implemented appropriately. In July and August 2017, 43.8% of patients at our day care center took sick leave because of URTI, and the overall attendance rate decreased from 95.8% to 85.4%. A survey revealed that, on the part of caregivers, nurses did not assess the patients’ symptoms of infection; nor did they take active preventive measures or compile the data on infected patients. Awareness of URTI was insufficient among patients, hand hygiene was lacking, and influenza vaccination rates were low. Regarding the equipment and the environment, ward cleaning standards did not met the requirements, hand hygiene equipment was inadequate, and a specific space for isolated people with URTI symptoms was lacking. The purpose of this project was to implement infection control measures in order to reduce URTI incidence. The mitigation strategies were undertaken from October 15, 2017, to April 30, 2018. Healthcare professionals established a ward care routine for the nurses, formulated epidemic prevention slogans, conducted health education courses, administered influenza vaccines, and promoted hand hygiene activities for the patients. They also revised the URTI control protocol for day care cards and set up hand washing equipment. The URTI incidence rate decreased from 43.8% to 25.0% after these interventions were enforced. Through the cooperation of medical teams and the implementation of infection control measures, cluster infections in hospitals can be effectively prevented and a safe medical environment can be provided.
