“…10,11 The MRSA barrier function may have significant benefits. Current guidelines [12][13][14] for the management of MRSA recommend standard contact precautions (e.g. handwashing, masking and appropriate handling of laundry), eradication of MRSA from the nasopharynx and isolating the patient.…”

“…A presença desses microrganismos multirresistentes em hospitais, onde é grande o número de pessoas debilitadas e a pressão seletiva pronunciada, constitui-se num dos maiores problemas de saúde pública, por causarem, no mundo, as infecções nosocomiais (BURD et al, 2003).…”

“…HCAI affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, complicates the delivery of patient care, contributes to patient's death and disability, promotes resistance to antibiotics and generates additional expenditure to that already incurred by the patient's underlying disease (Pittet and Donaldson, 2005). In particular, multi-resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) present a significant challenge to health care institutions globally (Eveillard, et al, 2008;Burd, et al, 2003). In Ireland, MRSA is endemic in many hospitals (Doherty, et al, 2007;Creedon, 2005Creedon, , 2006.…”

The report 'Patient Safety in Europe: Medication Errors and Hospitalacquired Infection' was commissioned by the European Federation of Nurses Associations (EFN) in order to support its policy statement on Patient Safety. The report is authored by a working-group within the Workgroup of European Nurse Researchers and it is a snapshot of current work in the European areas surveyed. Medication errors and hospital-acquired infections are examined and a range of European studies are used as evidence. The result shows that studies on medication safety and nursing are few and they are heterogeneous in design making comparability between research reports difficult. Future research should capture the environmental and human context of error. WHO has identified hand hygiene as a major patient safety issue in relation to health care associated infections (HCAI) and there is general agreement in the literature that effective hand hygiene remains the most important initiative in the control of infection. To maximize EFNs lobbying function EFN and WENR should work together.
