Survey of Dental Hygienists’ Attitudes and Support of the Proposed Dually Accredited Advanced Dental Therapist

McBride, Deborah S 01 May 2014 (has links)
The proposed dually licensed advanced dental therapy program, a graduate level curriculum created by the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) encompassing both dental hygiene and basic restorative procedures, creates an innovative career path in dental hygiene and increases the standing of the dental hygienist from an auxiliary role to an independent midlevel dental practitioner. Data were gathered via an online anonymous survey tool from Massachusetts registered dental hygienists to assess support of this proposed curriculum by practicing hygienists. Eighty-seven percent of survey respondents are in agreement that the scope of dental hygiene responsibilities should increase with level of education, and that the inclusion of limited restorative procedures should generate independent midlevel dental practitioner status.

Sjuksköterskors tillämpning av handhygien : En observationsstudie / Nurses´ application of hand hygiene : An observation study

Veljanovska, Aleksandra, Nilsson, Ann-Catrin January 2010 (has links)
En god handhygien är en av de viktigaste faktorerna för att förebygga vårdrelaterade infektioner som senare kan orsaka onödigt lidande hos patienten. För patienten innebär detta försenat tillfrisknande och en förlängd vårdtid. Drygt 10 % av patienterna på Sveriges sjukhus drabbas av vårdrelaterade infektioner och kostnaderna för samhället uppskattades bli 3,7 miljarder kronor under år 2009. Flera studier har tidigare belyst hur viktigt det är med en god handhygien i omvårdnadsarbetet och vilka faktorer som påverkar hygienrutinerna. Syftet blev därför att undersöka sjuksköterskors följsamhet av hygienrutiner vid handtvätt, handdesinfektion samt hur väl användandet av handskar i olika vård- och omvårdnadssituationer efterföljs. Som metod användes en strukturerad observation och ett observationsprotokoll fördes av observatörerna. En enkät med ramdata och en öppen fråga delades ut till sjuksköterskorna, där syftet var att få deras syn på begreppet handhygien. Det insamlade datamaterialet analyserades och bearbetades där det framkom fyra olika kategorier: läkemedelshantering, medicinteknisk hantering, patientkontakt och basal omvårdnad. Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskornas tillämpning av hygienrutiner varierade beroende på vilken situation det gällde. Det mest framträdande var att sjuksköterskorna överlag var duktiga på att desinfektera händerna men sämre på att använda handskar. Trots detta visade enkätsvaren att sjuksköterskorna har en kunskap och en medvetenhet om hygienens viktiga betydelse. / Good hand hygiene is one of the most important factors for preventing healthcare associated infections which later may cause unnecessary distress to the patient. It could delay recovery and create a prolonged hospital stay. Over 10 % of all patients in Swedish hospitals suffer of health care-related infections and the cost for the society estimated to be 3, 7 billion SEK in year 2009. Several studies have previously focused on the importance of good hand hygiene in nursing care and factors that could affect hygiene routines. The aim was to investigate nurses' adherence to hygiene practices in hand washing, hand disinfection, as well as how well the use of gloves in various health-care situations are followed. The method used was a structured observation and an observation protocol was conducted by the observers. A survey with the frame data and an open question were distributed to nurses, where the aim was to seek their views on the concept of hand hygiene. The collected data has been analyzed and processed, in which there were discovered four different categories: pharmaceuticals, medical management, patient contact and basic care. The result showed that nurses applications of hygiene practices varied depending on the situation. The most prominent result was that the nurses were generally good at disinfecting their hands but worse to wear gloves. The nurses also had a good knowledge and awareness of the concept hand hygiene.

Nurses' experiences of impacting factors on hygiene practice and infection control in a rural hospital in India  – an interview study / Sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av faktorer som påverkar vårdhygien och infektionskontroll på ett landsbygdssjukhus i Indien – en intervjustudie

Walfridsson, Ida, Browall, Therese January 2014 (has links)
Introduction - Health care acquired infections (HCAI) are a common complication that affects hospital treated patients. Basic hygiene practice is the most important to prevent HCAI. The occurrence of HCAI is a big problem in India, mostly because of a low compliance to hygiene practice. The nurse has an important role because of their ability to inform and motivate the staff to keep a good compliance to hygiene practice. Aim - To illuminate nurses’ experiences of impacting factors on hygiene practice and infection control in a rural hospital in India. Method - Data was gathered through nine qualitative interviews. Data Analysis – The interviews were tape recorded, transcribed and then analysed through content analysis. Results - Four main categories was identified as important for conducting a successful hygiene practice;Knowledge among health care staff, relatives and patients, Leadership, Resources and Routines. Conclusion – a variety of factors have an impact on hygiene practice and infection control. The nurses experienced that knowledge of infection transmission is vital, as well as a good leadership and implemented routines. It is important having enough staff, sufficient material and facilities in order to prevent the spread of HCAI.
