ABSTRACT
The sacrum is a common site of stress injury. The occurrence of pressure ulcers not only leads to the aggravation of the patient′s condition, the prolongation of hospital stay, the increase of medical costs, the decline of life quality, but also aggravates the burden of society, family and medical staff. Early reasonable and effective application of sacral dressing can prevent the occurrence of pressure injury. In this study, the characteristics and effectiveness of different types of sacral dressings were reviewed by reviewing relevant literatures at home and abroad and summarizing the existing relevant studies, so as to provide guidance for clinical application.
ABSTRACT
This study introduced the development, qualification requirements, training contents and methods, practice authority and field, practice management and safety of specialist nurses' multi-sitepractice, elaborated the development status of multi-site practice of nurses in foreign countries, summarized international experience, combined with the national conditions, explored the development mode of multi-point practice of specialist nurses in China, with a view to providing domestic specialized nurses with multi-site practice. It also provides suggestions for managers to formulate relevant policies and develop localized multi-site practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the characteristics of nosocomial infection and relative risk factors, and provide the basis for the management and control of nosocomial infection.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted on all inpatients with nosocomial infection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from 0:00 to 24:00 on September 18, 2018.Results:There were 2 766 inpatients in the survey day, and the detection rate was 100%. The number of nosocomial infections was 57, with a current incidence rate of 2.06% (57/2 766), and the number of infections was 60, with a secondary incidence rate of 2.17% (60/2 766). The departments with the highest infection rates were neurosurgery department and intensive care units (ICU), which were 9.92% (13/131) and 9.38% (6/64) respectively. The lower respiratory tract at the infected site was the first, accounting for 50.00% (30/60). The main pathogens of nosocomial infection were gram-negative bacteria. The incidence of nosocomial infection was higher in patients with age ≥60 years ( χ2 value was 18.22 , P<0.001), ventilator( χ2 value was 37.84 , P<0.001), urinary tract intubation ( χ2 value was 180.57 , P<0.001), diabetic nephropathy ( χ2 value was 34.71 , P<0.001), and hemodialysis ( χ2 value was 368.60 , P<0.001) with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The focus should be on the prevention and treatment of lower respiratory tract infection inpatients in the intensive care unit of neurosurgery, and medic should develop preventive measures to avoid the occurrence of nosocomial infection according to the risk factors of patients with age ≥60 years, ventilator, urinary tract intubation, diabetic nephropathy, and hemodialysis to shorten hospital stay and costs.
