“…Furthermore, SCIE, 2022 21 reported that staying outside where possible, and letting fresh air in when indoors helps decrease the spread of infection. Hasan et al, 2021 22 conduct a model for the problem of clustering patient care in healthcare facilities so as to minimize infection spread. Stone et al, 2004 23 detected that staffing patterns and nurses' working conditions are risk factors for healthcare-associated infections as well as occupational injuries and infections.…”

Background The nurse’s first and most important responsibility is to protect themselves from contracting or spreading COVID-19. Purpose Investigate the effect of applying clustering nursing care on spreading COVID-19 infection and fatigue level among nurses who provide nursing care for COVID-19 patients. Methods Retrospective case–control study, where cases had a COVID-19 infection in the previous six months and controls were free. Internet-based survey sent to nurses at eight hospitals. Findings A total of 100 cases and 250 controls. About 36.8% of nurses who did not apply clustering care suffered from COVID-19 infection. Meanwhile, 83.3% and 93.3% of those who clustered three and four procedures, were free of COVID-19 infection. Discussion Applying clustering for nurses’ care decreases spreading of infection among nurses and decreases fatigue level related to work. Female nurses, increased fatigue, and a lack of training are all factors that may contribute to the spread of CVID-19 infection among nurses.
