Quality of nosocomial infection control in Thailand.
Artículo en Inglés | IMSEAR | ID: sea-40880
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To study the quality of nosocomial infection control with respect to structure and process. MATERIAL AND

METHOD:

Data collection by questionnaire and interview administrators and medical personnel in 57 hospitals in Thailand in 2002.

RESULTS:

Nosocomial infection control was implemented in all 57 hospitals. In every hospital, there was an infection control committee (ICC) and at least 1 infection control nurse (ICN). The quality of ICNs regarding knowledge, skill and time available for infection control needed to be improved. Surveillance methods of NI were not appropriate in many hospitals. Doctors were not interested in NI control and supply of certain materials was not adequate. Lack of support and co-operation of doctors and nurses was found. Service of certain departments needed to be revised in over 50%. Doctors and nurses not directly involved in NI controlled were not satisfied with current practices.

CONCLUSION:

Quality of NI control in Thailand has yet to be improved regarding structure and process. Better cooperation between NI control team and healthcare personnel needs to be developed.
