A pilot study using an integrated care pathway (ICP) when caring for patients suffering from Clostridium difficile associated disease (CDAD) was undertaken over a six-month period within six wards in two hospitals. The aim was to standardise practice and improve communications for this group of patients. There was increased staff knowledge and understanding with 91% of nursing staff reporting that the use of a CDAD ICP had improved patient care and treatment. Seventy-seven per cent of staff expressed that communications had improved since using the ICP and 77% felt that accessibility of patient information had improved. Lastly 86% of the staff felt better equipped to nurse patients with CDAD. A literature review yielded no other documented evidence of the use of an ICP for this patient group.

Single room isolation to prevent the transmission of infection: development of a patient journey tool to support safe practice 单间隔离以防止感染传播:开发病人旅行工具以支持安全做法
Pub Date : 2008-11-01 DOI: 10.1177/1469044608098325

A variety of infection prevention and control precautions are used to minimise the risk of infection spread from person to person, both patients and staff. Standard Precautions (SPs), including hand hygiene and use of personal protective equipment (PPE), are applied routinely to all patients, whereas transmission-based precautions (TBPs) are used when a patient is known or suspected to have an epidemiologically important infectious disease or condition, in order to further reduce the risk of spread of infection. The use of single room isolation is part of TBPs and is a cornerstone of hospital infection prevention and control practice. However, successfully implementing TBPs, including single room isolation, continues to be a challenge in the UK for a number of reasons. Effective approaches to increasing the quality and safety of patient care are increasingly based on utilising simple tools that increase the likelihood that care will be provided in a reliable way. The tool presented is intended to facilitate both learning and practice in relation to TBPs and to promote the delivery of safe patient care in relation to single room isolation. It is designed for use in those situations when a single room is available for patient isolation. It also highlights the other important TBPs to be taken to prevent the spread of infection, whether or not a single room is available. It can be adapted for use with any organism or disease for which TBPs are recommended. At a time when healthcare associated infections (HCAI) such as Clostridium difficile and meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continue to have an impact on both acute and community care settings, and their reduction is embedded within national targets for NHS healthcare providers, tools that make it easy for healthcare workers to apply safe practices within their daily routines are essential. Initial testing suggests that this tool is acceptable to healthcare workers and further study will identify its potential contribution to healthcare workers' knowledge and practice in this area.
采取了各种感染预防和控制措施,以尽量减少患者和工作人员之间感染传播的风险。标准预防措施(SPs),包括手部卫生和使用个人防护装备(PPE),常规适用于所有患者,而当已知或怀疑患者患有流行病学上重要的传染病或病症时,则采用基于传播的预防措施(TBPs),以进一步减少感染传播的风险。使用单间隔离是TBPs的一部分,也是医院感染预防和控制实践的基石。然而,由于种种原因,在英国成功实施包括单间隔离在内的tbp仍然是一项挑战。提高病人护理质量和安全性的有效方法越来越多地基于使用简单的工具,这些工具增加了以可靠的方式提供护理的可能性。所提供的工具旨在促进与TBPs有关的学习和实践,并促进提供与单室隔离有关的安全患者护理。它的设计目的是在只有一个房间可以隔离病人的情况下使用。它还强调了为防止感染传播而应采取的其他重要TBPs,无论是否有单间可用。它可以适用于推荐tbp治疗的任何生物体或疾病。当艰难梭菌和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)等卫生保健相关感染(HCAI)继续对急性和社区护理环境产生影响,并且将其减少纳入NHS卫生保健提供者的国家目标时,使卫生保健工作者易于在日常工作中采用安全做法的工具至关重要。初步测试表明,该工具是可接受的卫生保健工作者和进一步的研究将确定其潜在的贡献卫生保健工作者的知识和实践在这一领域。

A telephone survey was conducted in Hong Kong and Sydney to identify factors associated with appropriate antibiotic use in the community. The overall knowledge score was high in both cities. Satisfactory knowledge and appropriate attitude were associated with age >40, residency in Sydney, and a higher education level. Both residency in Sydney and good antibiotic knowledge were predictors of appropriate attitude. There was a higher expectation of antibiotics for minor ailments in Hong Kong than Sydney. In both cities, Sydney in particular, expectation for antibiotic prescription increased when one was sick or when there was fever. Completion of full course of treatment and a positive attitude were, however, associated with a good knowledge of antibiotics, irrespective of one's residency and demographics. The promotion of proper use of antibiotic requires not just good knowledge and a positive attitude, but an understanding of one's expectations at different stages of illnesses.
在香港和悉尼进行了一项电话调查,以确定与社区适当使用抗生素有关的因素。这两个城市的总体知识得分都很高。满意的知识和适当的态度与年龄>40岁,居住在悉尼,高学历相关。悉尼居民和良好的抗生素知识是适当态度的预测因素。与悉尼相比,香港对小病使用抗生素的预期更高。在这两个城市,尤其是悉尼,当一个人生病或发烧时,抗生素处方的期望会增加。然而,无论一个人的居住地和人口统计数据如何,完成整个疗程和积极的态度与良好的抗生素知识有关。促进抗生素的正确使用不仅需要良好的知识和积极的态度,还需要了解一个人在不同疾病阶段的期望。

Healthcare associated infections cost the National Health Service around £1 billion each year and cause pain and reduced quality of life. Essential Steps to Safe, Clean Care was introduced by the Department of Health in 2006 and was aimed at organisations that provide and commission health and social services in community and non-acute settings. The engagement and empowerment of frontline clinical staff, especially the infection, prevention and control linkworkers, was central to the programme. This article describes the process by which Essential Steps was introduced and implemented in a teaching primary care trust and how the changes required were managed.

Introduction: Hand cleansing with alcohol gel is important in reducing health care associated infection (HCAI). HCAI affects 8% of acute hospital admissions in the UK costing the NHS an estimated ®1 billion per annum1. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of posters and placement of alcohol dispensers on use of alcohol dispensers by staff and visitors passing through hospital foyers. Method: We noted the use of alcohol gel for hand cleansing in pedestrians entering through the hospital foyers. Three scenarios were noted: ■ Display 1. Poster and gel dispenser in the centre of the foyer. ■ Display 2. Poster and gel dispenser on the wall of the foyer. ■ Display 3. No poster with a gel dispenser on the wall of the foyer. Results: For display 1 uptake of alcohol gel was 38.4%, for display 2 it was 8.6% and for display 3 it was 2.7%. There was a significant increase in uptake of alcohol hand cleansing when a display was used (p > 0.001). Regarding gender, males were better users of alcohol hand gel overall. Employment group: the highest use was amongst female visitors with display 1 (51.6%). Displays had least influence on male doctors (44% with display 1, 10% with display 3). Conclusion: We recommend the use of prominently placed posters and gel dispensers in hospital foyers.
导语:用酒精凝胶洗手对减少卫生保健相关感染(HCAI)很重要。在英国,HCAI影响了8%的急性住院患者,每年花费NHS约10亿美元。本研究的目的是确定海报和酒精饮水机的位置对通过医院门厅的工作人员和访客使用酒精饮水机的影响。方法:对进入医院大厅的行人使用酒精凝胶进行手部清洁。需要注意的三种场景:门厅中央的海报和凝胶分发器。■显示2。门厅墙上的海报和凝胶分发器。■显示门厅墙上没有贴贴有凝胶分配器的海报。结果:显示1酒精凝胶的摄取率为38.4%,显示2为8.6%,显示3为2.7%。当使用显示器时,酒精洗手的吸收率显著增加(p > 0.001)。就性别而言,男性总体上更善于使用酒精洗手液。就业组别:使用最多的是女性参观者(51.6%)。显示对男性医生的影响最小(显示1占44%,显示3占10%)。结论:我们建议在医院门厅使用显著位置的海报和凝胶分发器。

To investigate the environmental contamination of rooms of patients colonised with meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), we conducted a prospective study during a five month period in a French university hospital. Environmental samples were taken once per week for each MRSA included patient, until the patient was discharged. The surfaces swabbed were the covers, the lifting pole, the bed bars, the table and the trolley. A 500-litre air sample was collected with an impactor air sampler, and a Petri dish was left open in the room for two hours. The aims of the study were to assess the impact of nasal decolonisation and dressing changes on the day of sampling on environmental contamination of the room. Thirty patients were included in this study. In total, 37.5% of the rooms tested positive: surface samples were positive in 11.8% of cases (39/320), and air samples were positive in 17.9% of cases (23/128). Much higher levels of contamination were observed on days on which dressings were changed, in the absence of nasal decolonisation with mupirocin. This study shows that the environment is often contaminated in the rooms of patients with MRSA. Our results are consistent with the findings of other studies suggesting that the environment may play an important role in the persistence of hospital epidemics, and that this contamination should be taken into account in the organisation and delivery of care and in evaluations of preventive measures.
为了调查耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)患者房间的环境污染情况,我们在法国一所大学医院进行了为期5个月的前瞻性研究。每个MRSA患者每周采集一次环境样本,直到患者出院。擦洗过的表面包括被褥、升降杆、床栏、桌子和手推车。用撞击式空气采样器收集500升空气样本,并在室内打开培养皿两小时。该研究的目的是评估取样当天鼻腔去殖民化和更衣对房间环境污染的影响。本研究纳入了30例患者。37.5%的房间检测呈阳性,11.8%的病例(39/320)表面样本检测呈阳性,17.9%的病例(23/128)空气样本检测呈阳性。在没有使用莫匹罗星鼻腔去菌落的情况下,在更换敷料的日子里观察到更高水平的污染。这项研究表明,MRSA患者的房间环境经常被污染。我们的结果与其他研究结果一致,表明环境可能在医院流行病的持续存在中发挥重要作用,并且在组织和提供护理以及评估预防措施时应考虑到这种污染。

Our aim was to assess, for the first time, the know-ledge and perception of meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among the general public and a group of hospital visitors. Five hundred and forty five participants completed the survey, 24 (4.4%) had not heard of MRSA and were excluded from further analysis; 345 members of the public and 176 hospital visitors remained. Twenty four (4.4%) of the public and two of the hospital visitors had a personal history of MRSA and thus formed a discrete group. The majority of participants thought that MRSA transmission could be reduced by hand washing. MRSA evoked a strong emotive response, 61% agreeing they would be angry and 80.9% agreeing that they would feel fearful if diagnosed with MRSA. The public are generally knowledgeable about MRSA but most agreed that they would feel angry and afraid by its diagnosis. Future public education campaigns on MRSA should be aware of this response.
我们的目的是首次评估普通公众和一组医院访客对耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的认识和认知。545名参与者完成了调查,24名(4.4%)没有听说过MRSA,被排除在进一步的分析之外;345名公众和176名医院访客留下。24名(4.4%)公众和2名医院访客有MRSA的个人病史,因此形成了一个独立的群体。大多数参与者认为洗手可以减少MRSA的传播。MRSA引起了强烈的情绪反应,61%的人同意如果被诊断为MRSA他们会生气,80.9%的人同意他们会感到害怕。公众通常对MRSA有所了解,但大多数人都认为他们会对其诊断感到愤怒和害怕。未来关于耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌的公共教育活动应该意识到这种反应。
