Questions on Disease Control and Prevention

Summary and Conclusion

Despite the intentions of healthcare workers, their actions sometimes are a vector of diseases where they disseminate new infections among their unsuspecting patients. Every healthcare facility aims to provide quality of their services and ensure patient safety. This is done by reducing risks, errors and any harm that may occur to patients during the provision of healthcare. Most germs that cause infections in a medical facility are spread through hands from one person to another. Hand washing is an effective way to control and prevent spreading healthcare-associated infections. However, there are existing studies that indicated that on average people in a healthcare facility wash their hands less than half of the times they are required. This caused the spread of HAI that impacts 1 in 31 patients in a hospital daily. Patients are at a high risk of getting other infections when they are under treatment of something else. Additionally, healthcare providers might also get infected when rating their patients. Hence preventing the spread of these germs and bacteria is crucial in hospitals, nursing homes, and dialysis centres.

The study showed that practising hand hygiene is an unpretentious but also operative mean to prevent infections. Cleaning your hands may help stop the spread of germs, counting those that are resistant to antibiotics and are becoming hard or impossible to treat. Research states that healthcare workers clean their hands less than half the times they are required. This topic is essential and has a lot of implications for nursing practice. First, the case emphasizes the importance of nurse education and training in a medical facility. Second, the topic has shown that washing hands is significant in preventing infections in a children psych hospital and other medical facilities. For an affordable investment in soap and water, many hospital-acquired diseases can be controlled (Alvarez, 2018). Third, the topic is essential to a nurse as it shows the need for high-level compliance to regulations that are put in the workplace

All healthcare workers require consistency in the operation of hand hygiene to reduce the rate of hospital-related illnesses. All nurses and staff are advised to observe strict hand hygiene between patients at all times (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021). The facility can also use the performance diagnostic checklist of human services to assess hand hygiene compliance for all workers (Hays & Romani, 2021). Also, I recommend that the facility provide its staff with alcohol-based sanitisers only when necessary. This will help nursing practice by promoting consistency in hand hygiene. Reducing the rate of healthcare-acquired infections will help reduce the amount of care needed for each child in the facility, making it easier for healthcare workers to work effectively. This will affect the quality of service and efficiency in nursing practice. The study should be used in a healthcare facility as a strategy for improving patient care practices.

As stated earlier, it is the responsibility of all stakeholders involved to address and ensure the safety of all patients when there is a shortage of nurses and in taking certain actions towards promoting quality care to all patients in the healthcare facility. The society is responsible for ensuring that it is working towards refining communication between nursing leadership and direct care nurses to endorse flexibility in the staff and ensure the use of a suitable formula that relates to staffing formulas, minimized hazards, enough salaries, fair working hours and promoting safety in the workplace. Patients’ education is paramount on their medication, explanation of their illness, interventions, and treatments. Nursing educators and administrators should also take part in promoting hand hygiene and in ensuring that all dynamics that influence the ability of nurses to ensure the safety of patients are availed in the facility. Other stakeholders mentioned in this study include the government, physicians, and researchers. Research in nursing has had a great impact in improving the safety of patients as it had recognized the need for enough nurses in the hospital. The government is in charge of creating regulations that guide nurses and the nursing staff is monitored by physicians.

The project uses change theory by Lewin to implement the plan that ensures patient safety in the healthcare facility. According to Lewin, people and groups of persons are influenced by restraining forces or hindrances that prevent the driving forces meant at keeping the status quo, and positive forces for change that pushes in the direction that causes change to happen. The change process involves steps that include unfreezing, changing, and freezing. The process of change includes making the perception that change is required, then working towards the new, chosen level of traits and then solidifying the new behaviour as the culture of the organization.

Recommendations

1. Healthcare workers should clean their hands as many times as possible in their 12-hour shifts, which depends on the number of patients they interact with and the intensity of care they provide.
2. Every stakeholder needs to understand the truth about hand hygiene and alcohol-based hand sanitizes: although they kill most of the germs that cause infections and is a preferred way of cleaning your hands in a healthcare facility, they do not kill C. difficile, which is an infection that leads to diarrhoea. As such, patients with C. difficile must wash their hands with water and detergent and ensure that healthcare workers and other people they come in contact with wash their hand or put on hand gloves when caring for them.
3. The best way for patients and their visitors to prevent themselves from hospital-acquired infections is through washing their hands regularly.
4. Hand hygiene is supposed to be a topic of conversation between healthcare workers, patients, and other stakeholders. Healthcare providers should explain why and how they wash their hand before, after and on other occasions during patient care, and make the patient understand that it is okay to enquire about hand washing.
5. People should be advised to avoid touching surfaces unnecessarily that close to the patient.
6. People with jewellery such as rings should remove them before washing their hand s in running water and, if possible, warm water and soap.
