Abstract

Introduction: Patients hospitalized for treatment may be exposed to healthcare-associated infections, and these infections can affect patients seriously.

Objective: This research was conducted to determine what hospitalized patients know and what they want to know about healthcare-associated infections.

Methods: This is a full-text original research article. The study was conducted between July and September 2022 with inpatients in all clinics of Kocaeli University Hospital in Turkey. A total of 310 patients participated in this cross-sectional study. The questions were asked by the researcher and the answers were recorded.

Results: Almost all (92.8%) the patients who stated that they knew what healthcare-associated infection was evaluated their knowledge as insufficient. Patients with higher educational levels have more information (p=0.000) about healthcare-associated infections. Young (p=0.000) and highly educated patients (p=0.000) stated that the infection rate of the hospital would affect the choice of hospital.

Conclusion: Patients want to learn about healthcare-associated infections, but most do not know about them. Patients should be informed about healthcare-associated infections during hospitalization planning and hospitalization.

患者对医疗保健相关感染了解多少?他们想知道什么?道德评价。

住院治疗的患者可能暴露于卫生保健相关感染，这些感染可严重影响患者。目的:本研究旨在了解住院患者对医疗保健相关感染的了解情况和他们想要了解的情况。方法:这是一篇全文原创研究文章。该研究于2022年7月至9月在土耳其Kocaeli大学医院所有诊所的住院患者中进行。共有310例患者参与了这项横断面研究。这些问题由研究人员提出，答案被记录下来。结果:几乎所有(92.8%)表示了解卫生保健相关感染的患者被评价为知识不足。受教育程度越高的患者对医疗保健相关感染的了解越多(p=0.000)。年轻患者(p=0.000)和高学历患者(p=0.000)表示医院感染率会影响医院的选择。结论:患者希望了解医疗相关感染，但大多数患者并不了解。在住院计划和住院期间，应告知患者与医疗保健相关的感染。
