Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cognitive status quo of nosocomial infections and intervention strategies of blood disease patients and their family members, so as to provide references for the prevention of nosocomial infections of blood disease.
METHODS Total of 200 cases of blood disease patients and their family member from Apr. 2015 to Apr. 2016 were selected, and questionnaire survey was conducted on their cognitive status of nosocomial infections.
RESULTS The total awareness rate of nosocomial infections of patients was 53.00%, which was higher than that of family members of 31.00% (
P<0.05). The awareness rates of hand washing frequency, food hygiene, visit frequency of visitors, wearing masks of visitors, and regular disinfection of rooms of patients were 82.50%, 51.50%, 46.50%, 58.00%, and 80.00%, which were higher than those of family members of 66.00%, 31.50%, 33.50%, 46.50%, 63.00% (
P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the awareness rates of nosocomial infections with different diseases. The total awareness rates of patients with hospitalized times≤3, 4-6, and > 6 were 39.23%, 76.09%, and 83.33%, and of family members were 22.31%, 39.13%, and 62.50%. There were significant differences in the awareness rates of nosocomial infections with different hospitalized times (
P<0.05).
CONCLUSION Patients with blood disease have higher cognitive level of nosocomial infections than those of family members. As the hospitalized times increases, the cognitive level of nosocomial infections of patients and family members increases.Each time the patient is hospitalized, the medical staff should educate the patients and their family members on the knowledge and preventive measurement of nosocomial infections, in order to prevent and reduce nosocomial infections.
