Experimental intervention study of safe injection in basic-level hospitals in Hunan by medical staff / 中南大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective:To experimentally intervene safe injection by medical staff in basic-level hospitals and observe the recent and long-term effect atfer the intervention and to provide practical measures to improve safe injection. Methods:We used random sampling methods to set up groups in county hospitals and township hospitals of Hunan Province, and offered lectures, delivered safe injection guide, brochure and on-site guidance in the experimental group. We surveyed the 2 groups atfer the intervention at 1 month and 6 months to compare the effect of unsafe injection behaviors and safe injection behaviors. Results:One month after the intervention, the unsafe injection rate in the experimental group decreased from 27.8%to 21.7%, while in the control group injection the unsafe injection rate rose from 26.0%to 27.9%, with signiifcant difference (P<0.01). Six months atfer the intervention, the unsafe injection rate in the experimental group declined to 18.4%while the unsafe injection rate in the control group also dropped to 22.4%, with signiifcant difference (P<0.01). Unsafe injection rate was decreased in the experimental group at different intervention points, with signiifcant difference (P<0.01). The safe injection behavior scores in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group after the intervention of 1 month and 6 month intervention (P<0.01);the experimental group got higher scores atfer the intervention (P<0.01). Conclusion:Training of safe injection, distribution of safe injection guide, and comprehensive intervention model can significantly change the primary care practitioners’ behaviors in unsafe injections and it is worth promoting.
