Filter by:Aim is to compare the effect of number of persons and time-dependant bacterial air contamination on sterile goods, using different preparation conditions and protective sterile covers. Research questions Is there a difference in bacterial air contamination during preparation of the sterile surgical goods with 2 persons (intervention) compared with 4-5 persons (control) in the OR? Is there a time-dependent difference in bacterial air contamination pending surgery for 1 hour (control) compared to approximately 12 hours (intervention) when the sterile goods are protected with sterile covers? Is there a time-dependent difference in bacterial air contamination pending surgery if sterile goods are protected or not, by sterile covers? Is there any differences in surgical site infections between the groups? What type of bacteria contain the air contamination? Is there antibiotic resistant bacterial air contamination?
Study objective: To clarify the risk of exposure to indirect contact and transmission of environmental objects during digestive endoscopy diagnosis and treatment for patients and medical staff, simulating by using Vitamin B2 solution. Study design: This is a case-only research.
188 healthcare personnel from 20 residential care homes (RCHs) will be recruited to assess the effect of 2-week implementation of Blended Gaming COVID-19 Training System (BGCTS) on RCH staffs' infection control practices. These clusters (RCHs) will be randomly allocated to two study groups (the intervention group, IG; and the control group, CG) to assess 1. whether more staff in the IG perform infection control practices (by on-site observations) than the staff in the CG after receiving BGCTS and 2. whether more staff in the IG have infection control knowledge, positive attitudes towards infection control, and self-reported compliance rates than the staff in the CG. 5 Hypothesis have been set up for this study: H1. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will exhibit performance in complying with hand hygiene measures than those in the CG. H2. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will exhibit performance in complying with other infection control practices than those in the CG. H3. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will have high level of knowledge of infection control than those in the CG. H4. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will have positive attitudes towards infection control than those in the CG. H5. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will have a high self-reported compliance rate with infection control measures than those in the CG. Infection control practices conducted by RCH staffs will be measured through unobtrusive on-site non-participatory observations. RCH staffs' knowledge, attitudes about infection control practice, and self-reported infection control practices will be assessed via an electronic quiz.
Both patient and staff safety are of major importance during the procedure of fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Patient safety depends partly on adequate disinfection of instruments and accessories used as well as careful monitoring during the procedure.
