Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of meticulous management on infection prevention and infection rate control in neonatal wards.
Methods: 230 neonates admitted to Northwest Women and Children's Hospital from January 2022 to June 2022 were selected as the control group and 230 neonates admitted to Northwest Women and Children's Hospital in the same period were selected as the study group. The control group was given routine management, and the study group was given meticulous management. The sanitary conditions of the items in the wards, the rate of implementation of standard disinfection measures, neonatal infections, and the satisfaction of neonatal guardians were compared between the two groups.
Results: The qualified rates of air, nipple, bottle, disinfectants, sterilized items, and hand hygiene of medical staff in the study group were higher than those in the control group (P < .05). The implementation rates of environmental management, equipment disinfection, personnel management, and skin management disinfection in the neonatal ward of the study group were higher than those of the control group (P < .05). The total infection rate of all newborns in the study group was lower than that of the control group (P < .05). Total satisfaction was higher in the study group than in the control group (P < .05).
Conclusion: Meticulous management can play an effective role in the prevention and control of hospital-acquired infections in neonatal wards, and can effectively reduce the infection rate, which can be promoted and applied in clinical settings.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
