A Survey on Prevention of Surgical Infections in Operating Theaters

Abstract

It is suggested that increased compliance to infection control guidelines for surgical infections in OTs would facilitate providing best practice and evidence-based care. There is a need for further research to determine why there is a difference between what is practiced and what guidelines indicate should be practiced.

Factors Affecting The Compliance Of Myanmar Nurses In Performing Standard Precaution

“…Osborne (2003) in Australia, Demir (2009) andHosoglu et al, (2011) in Turkey found that there was a relationship between the low compliance rate and the participant's demographic characteristics in terms of age, gender and religion. This is consistent with Ayed, Equait, Fashafsheh and Ali's (2015) study in Palestine and Fashafaheh et al's study in Egypt (2015) according to age, gender, years of experience, nursing education, education training but is inconsistent with Ayed et al (2015), Efstathiou et al's, study (2011a) and Mortada & Zalat's (2013), in terms of gender.…”

A Literature Review of HealthCare Workers Compliance to, and Knowledge of Standard/Universal Precautions

“…Three articles comprise a cross-sectional survey evaluating HCW compliance rates vis-à-vis UP/SP, [27][28][29] while the other four studies are mixed designs. [30][31][32][33] Cutter and Jordan conducted two studies in the area of HCWs compliance toward UP/SP, which makes their outcomes more convincing and trustworthy, as multiple studies by authors in the same area gives them greater expertise in the field.…”

“…21,24,28,[30][31][32][33] Ethical considerations are essential to the validity and variability of any study. 34 Obtaining informed consent from participants is not required with this design, because using a questionnaire is considered less intrusive in a participant's life, and because anonymity can be assured with questionnaires.…”

“…The other four articles evaluate the issue via a mixed study design: Osborne 30 conducted a descriptive correlation study, Demir 31 performed a prospective, cross-sectional descriptive survey, Nagao et al, 32 conducted a retrospective review followed by a questionnaire survey, and Hosoglu et al, 33 performed their study using an analytic, cross-sectional survey. The advantage of using a mixed design is that it provides a better chance of encompassing the full scope of the study, and the data collected are far richer, as there are fewer limitations.…”
