AbstractSince 1981, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has been publishing Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Nosocomial Infections as a useful reference tool in infection control. The extent to which practices recommended by CDC to reduce hospital-acquired infections have been successfully diffused and adopted were evaluated in a stratified random sample of 445 US hospitals that were sent a questionnaire in 1985. The data suggest that over 84% of infection control practitioner respondents (78% response rate) are aware of each guideline, although small hospitals (<50 beds) are least likely to be aware of the guidelines or to have reviewed them thoroughly. Adoption of the recommendations remains far from universal, ranging from 23% to 75% for 16 specific recommendations investigated. Smaller hospitals were significantly less likely than large hospitals to have adopted each suggested policy. Recommendations that carried Category I rankings were more likely to be adopted, as were those procedures that had cost-savings implications.

And Control

Water is the main stimulus for the development of microorganisms, and its flow has an important role in the spreading of contaminants. In hospitals, the water distribution system requires special attention since it can be a source of pathogens, including those in the form of biofilms often correlated with resistance of microorganisms to various treatments. In this paper, information relevant to cases of nosocomial infections involving water circuits as a source of contaminants is compiled, with emphasis on the importance of microbiological control strategies to prevent the installation, spreading and growth of microorganisms in hospitals. An overview of the worldwide situation is provided, with emphasis on Brazilian hospitals. Different approaches normally used to control the occurrence of nosocomial infections due to waterborne contaminants are analyzed, and the use of the polysaccharide chitosan for this specific application is briefly discussed.

Do So

In the last year, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published a loose-leaf manual, Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Nosocomial Infections. One copy of the manual was sent to each hospital in the United States. Persons wanting additional copies were instructed to order them through the National Technical Information Service. In addition, the text of the manual was published in the March/April 1981, issue of INFECTION CONTROL.The manual contained the first of several guidelines that CDC is to publish for prevention of nosocomial infections. CDC is not presently prepared to distribute these guidelines to all U.S. hospitals, but expects to be able to do so within the next 12 months.A categorization scheme has been used to rank each of the recommendations in the guidelines. A full explanation of the scheme is in the manual and in the March/April 1981, issue of this journal.

Mechanical Removal

Handwashing is the single most important procedure for preventing nosocomial infections. Handwashing is defined as a vigorous, brief rubbing together of all surfaces of lathered hands, followed by rinsing under a stream of water. Although various products are available, handwashing can be classified simply by whether plain soap or detergents or antimicrobial-containing products are used. Handwashing with plain soaps or detergents (in bar, granule, leaflet, or liquid form) suspends microorganisms and allows them to be rinsed off; this process is often referred to as mechanical removal of microorganisms. In addition, handwashing with antimicrobial-containing products kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms; this process is often referred to as chemical removal of microorganisms. Routine handwashing is discussed in this Guideline; the surgical hand scrub is discussed in the Guideline for Prevention of Surgical Wound Infections.

Latar Belakang: Infeksi nosokomial sangat berpengaruh terhadap kondisi kesehatan pasien secara menyeluruh dan dapat meningkatkan morbiditas serta mortalitas. Kejadian infeksi nosokomial di Rumah Sakit Muhammadiyah Palembang masih banyak ditemukan, kepatuhan perawat dalam mencegah dan mengendalikan infeksi merupakan faktor yang sangat penting dalam pencegahan terjadinya infeksi nosokomial. Tujuan Penelitian: untuk menganalisis kepatuhan perawat terhadap pencegahan dan pengendalian infeksi di Rumah Sakit Muhammadiyah Palembang serta determinanya. Metode Penelitian: Jenispenelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan interaktif. Sumber informan sebanyak tiga orang perawat pelaksana, tiga orang kepala ruang, dan satu orang perawat PPIRS. Pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, studi dokumentasi dan observasi. Analisis diuraikan dalam bentuk deskriptif dan naratif. Hasil: hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa delapan kemampuan perawat dalam melakukan pencegahan dan pengendalian infeksi nosokomial belum sesuai dengan aturan menurut WHO. Determinan dalam pelaksanaannya antara lain pendidikan perawat, lama bekerja, tempat tugas, kebutuhan SDM dan alat pendukung, kenyamanan terhadap fasilitas pendukung, pelatihan/sosialisasi, monitoring dan evaluasi serta koordinasi antar unit. Kesimpulan: kemampuan perawat dalam pencegahan dan pengendalian infeksi nosokomial di RSMP masih belum optimal dan banyak hambatan dalam pelaksanaannya. Manajemen rumah sakit dan Tim PPI disarankan melakukan penyegaran kembali materi tentang PPI dan melakukan monitoring terhadap penerapan SPO PPI.     Background: Nosocomial infection is very influential on a patient's overall health condition and can increase morbidity and mortality. The incidence of nosocomial infections in Muhammadiyah Hospital Palembang is still widely found, nurses' adherence in preventing and controlling infections is a very important factor in preventing nosocomial infections. Research Objectives: to analyze nurses' adherence to infection prevention and control at Palembang Muhammadiyah Hospital and its determinants. Research Methods: This type of research is a qualitative research with an interactive approach. Informants were as many as three associate nurses, three head nurses, and one Infection Prevention Control Nurse (IPCN). Data collection through in-depth interviews, documentation studies and observations. The analysis is described in descriptive and narrative form. Results: The results showed that eight nurses' ability to prevent and control nosocomial infections was not in accordance with WHO regulations. Determinants in its implementation include nurse education, length of work, place of assignment, human resource needs and supporting tools, comfort of supporting facilities, training, monitoring and evaluation as well as coordination among units. Conclusion: the ability of nurses in the prevention and control of nosocomial infections in RSMP is still not optimal and there are many obstacles in their implementation. Hospital management and the IPC Team are advised to re-refresh the material on IPC and to monitor the implementation of IPC standard operational procedures.
