“…Interventions including patient education were effective in improving patient's knowledge and application of hand hygiene [45]. The implementation of IPC education systems for health professionals is also found to be effective [46,47]. Moreover, in accordance with the present findings, previous studies indicated that introducing context-specific guidelines may facilitate successful IPC implementation, yet require coordinated actions at the organisational level [48].…”

Background Care institutions are recognised to be a high-risk setting for the emergence and spread of infections and antimicrobial-resistant organisms, which stresses the importance of infection prevention and control (IPC). Accurate implementation is crucial for optimal IPC practice. Despite the wide promotion of IPC and research thereof in the hospital and nursing home setting, similar efforts are lacking in disability care settings. Therefore, this study aimed to assess perceived barriers and facilitators to IPC among professionals working at residential care facilities (RCFs) for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), as well as to identify professional-reported recommendations to improve IPC. Methods This qualitative study involved semi-structured interviews (before COVID-19) with twelve professionals from five Dutch RCFs for people with IDD. An integrated theoretical approach was used to inform data collection and analysis. Thematic analysis using inductive and deductive approaches was conducted. This study followed the COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research (COREQ) guidelines. Results Our findings revealed barriers and facilitators at the guideline, client, professional, professional interaction, professional client interaction, client interaction, organisational, community, and societal level. Six main themes covering multiple barriers and facilitators were identified: (1) guidelines’ applicability to (work)setting; (2) professionals’ cognitions and attitude towards IPC (related to educational background); (3) organisational support and priority; (4) educational system; (5) time availability and staff capacity; and (6) task division and change coaches. The main professional-reported recommendations were the introduction of tailored and practical IPC guidelines, structural IPC education and training among all professionals, and client participation. Conclusions To promote IPC, multifaceted and multilevel strategies should be implemented, with a preliminary need for improvements on the guideline, professional, and organisational level. Given the heterogeneous character, i.e., different professionals, clients and care needs, there is a need for a tailored approach to implement IPC and sustain it successfully in disability care. Our findings can inform future IPC practice improvements.

“…Related to near miss events in nursing practice, control measures that may be adopted would be to carry out an adequate identification of the patient treated, double-review relating to the preparation of medication and prescription, and monitoring protocols used in the centre (Hanifin & Zielenski, 2020), as well as improving safety culture which could include aspects such as the importance of hand hygiene and sterile procedures (Carter, Mancino, Hessels, Kelly, & Larson, 2017).…”

Characteristics of recovery from near misses in primary health care nursing: A Prospective descriptive study

According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2018), patient safety is a major public health problem worldwide. There is a 1 in 300 chance that a patient will be injured while receiving health care (WHO, 2018). Using conservative estimates, recent data show that patient harm is the fourteenth main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide (Jha et al., 2013). Although patient harm during hospital admissions is the most widely studied situation, recent literature reviews have observed that medical errors in primary care occur between 5 and 80 times per 100,000 consultations (Sandars & Esmail, 2003). Safety lapses in primary and ambulatory care are, therefore, common and in many cases avoidable. It has been estimated that in developed and developing countries, up to 20% or 25%, respectively, of the general population experience harm in the health care setting

“…One study explored the effectiveness of a teaching intervention in clinical practice (Zhang, 2015). Ten studies explored nursing students' experiences/perceptions of infection prevention or skill development including aseptic technique in clinical placements (Carter et al, 2017;Geller et al, 2010;Gould & Drey, 2013;Ribu et al, 2003;Stayt & Merriman, 2013;Ward, 2010Ward, , 2011Ward, , 2012aWard, , 2012bWestphal et al, 2014). One study explored infection prevention nurses' perceptions of undergraduate infection prevention education including aseptic technique (Cox et al, 2014).…”
