“…These infections are epidemiologically significant due to their rapid dissemination in the environment and the microorganism's ability to develop mechanisms of resistance to antimicrobials. Such infections can worsen the prognosis, increased length of hospital stay and increase mortality (Alvim et al, 2020; Vieira & Vicentino Vieira, 2018).…”

Aim: To understand the management actions for prevention and control of health care-associated infections (HAIs) performed by health professionals.Background: Prevention of nosocomial infections has evidence-based practice at its essence, but not all institutions are successful in implementing prevention methodology.Methods: Qualitative research with Grounded Theory methodological framework.The research was carried out in two southern Brazilian hospitals. Data collected were employed through open interviews with 21 health professionals and managers. This process occurred concurrently with the data analysis, through constant comparative analysis. Results:The understanding of the co-responsibility of managerial actions emerged as a central phenomenon of the theoretical model. Management actions for the prevention and control of HAIs are a collective phenomenon, in which co-responsibility sustains the effectiveness of the offered assistance. The behaviours of health teams in the face of structural and human weaknesses influence the construction of a supportive relationship in the effectiveness of patient safety actions. Conclusions:The sharing of responsibilities between professionals and the actions of prevention and control of HAIs arising from this conduct positively influence the promotion of safer and improved quality care.Implications for nursing management: Nursing managers should consider applying the tools to prevent and control HAIs and generate in-depth discussion to promote institution's cultural changes.

“…Hospital infection management in China came about later than it did in more developed countries, 1 and, to date, there has been no literature report on training models of hospital infection control teams in China. With the rapid development of modern medicine, health care work has become more and more complicated, 2 placing higher demands on infection control teams.…”

Objective: This study aims to explore the role of a three-in-one practice, management, and innovation training model (also called as three-in-one practice-management-innovation training model) in the construction of an infection control team. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the position structure, mastery of professional knowledge, and working methods of the full-time and part-time personnel of the Changzhou Cancer Hospital, compared the training content of Jiangsu Hospital Infection Control Center with the actual situation of the hospital, and formulated and implemented a three-in-one practicemanagement-innovation training model. First, the team members were selected for the construction and management of the Hospital Infection Management Department according to the relevant responsibility and management requirements, and their learning and mastery of the basic knowledge and skills concerning infection control were completed based on their professional roles. In line with the regulations of the hospital and department, full-time personnel were ensured of having the opportunity to participate in provincial-and municipal-level academic exchanges and then learn from each other, through collaboration between doctors and nurses, how to exercise basic management skills. At the same time, a fair competitive incentive mechanism was established through the three-level network of the hospital infection committee, the hospital infection management department, and nosocomial infection management department to implement innovative projectbased management and cultivate an awareness of hospital infection control in all employees. Results: The professional structure of the full-time infection control personnel has been optimized, the awareness of the infection control team concerning active participation in practice has gradually increased, and infection control management and innovation has been significantly improved. Conclusion:After the selection of an infection control management team and the delivery of well-planned training, the quality of infection control management has improved.

Backgroud: This paper researches the influence of the integrated equipment quality management model of operating room and supply room and conventional equipment disinfection management scheme on the prevention and control of nosocomial infection. Methods: 200 surgical instruments and surgical instrument kits in the supply room of our hospital from May 2020 to May 2022 are selected as research cases. They are equally divided into the experimental group and the control group by the random number table method, and each group is equipped with 100 pieces of surgical instruments and instrument kit. The control group adopts the conventional equipment disinfection management scheme, and the experimental group adopts the integrated equipment quality management model of operating room and supply room. The number of different types of surgical instruments and surgical instrument kits, the qualified rate of surgical instrument cleaning, the qualified rate of disinfection of surgical instrument kits, the wound infection rate of surgical patients, and the satisfaction of medical staff with the quality of the instruments are compared between the two groups. Results: The results show that the different types of surgical instruments (lumen instruments, hemostatic forceps, and scissors) and the number of surgical instrument kits (puncture kits, accessories kits, and instrument kits) in the experimental group are not significantly different from those in the control group (P > 0.05). The qualified rate of disinfection of surgical instrument kits in the experimental group is significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). The wound infection rate of surgical patients in the experimental group is significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference is statistically significant (P< 0.05). The satisfaction rate of 50 medical staff with the quality of surgical instruments in the experimental group is significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: It is found that compared with the conventional equipment disinfection management scheme, the integrated equipment quality management model of operating room and supply room can significantly improve the cleaning and disinfection quality of surgical instruments and surgical instrument kits, reduce the risk of postoperative wound infection of surgical patients, improve the satisfaction of medical staff, and achieve the prevention and control of nosocomialinfection.
