Basic knowledge of hospital infection training content are basic knowledge of hospital infection, hand hygiene knowledge, cleaning and disinfection of medical equipment, environmental hygiene management, management of the use of antibiotics, vaccination.
1. Basic knowledge of nosocomial infections
Nosocomial infections are hospital-acquired infections caused by a variety of factors in health care institutions. Nosocomial infections are a collection of infections that affect the course of patient care, the health status of healthcare workers and caregivers, and the consumption of healthcare resources in hospitals and related healthcare facilities.
2. Knowledge of hand hygiene
There are many cases of underreporting of surgical complications in healthcare facilities, the vast majority of which occur in operating rooms with improper hand hygiene practices, and hand hygiene is the basis for the prevention of hospital-acquired infections among medical workers.
To keep hands clean and keep them from becoming a source of infection, healthcare workers must understand proper hand hygiene practices, how to select and manipulate disinfectants, how to check procedures, and know when hand hygiene is necessary.
3. Cleaning and disinfection of medical equipment
Cleaning and disinfection of medical equipment is a very important part of the prevention and control of nosocomial infections. If equipment is not cleaned and disinfected, the surfaces may carry pathogens, a potential source of risk for the spread of nosocomial infections. Healthcare workers should use medical equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions and follow proper procedures for cleaning and disinfecting equipment.
4. Environmental health management
Environmental health management is one of the most important means of preventing and controlling nosocomial infections. Medical and health institutions should train and educate personnel responsible for environmental management, so that they can master the relevant knowledge such as: cleaning and disinfection operation procedures, the selection and mastery of the concentration of disinfection of goods, the use of ventilation equipment and so on. This will ensure that the environment is clean and sanitary.
5. Management of the use of antibiotics
Antibiotics are an important therapeutic tool in healthcare, but the misuse of antibiotics can have an adverse effect on patients and healthcare workers as well as society. Therefore, healthcare organizations must establish a rational antibiotic use system. Scientific and rational use of antibiotics can reduce secondary infections and waste of medical resources caused by the abuse and misuse of antibiotics.
6. Vaccination
Vaccination is a way of preventing nosocomial infections, enabling our bodies to produce antibodies to prevent the invasion of specific pathogens. Healthcare workers need to be aware of vaccinations in their daily encounters, especially some highly specialized healthcare workers who need to strengthen self-care measures when they need to use high-risk medical equipment or handle dangerous biological products.
