Abstract:
Objective? To explore the knowledge level of hospital infection control in nurses of key clinical departments and to provide a reference for providing more targeted hospital infection training. Methods? The nurses of key clinical departments in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University in December 2017 were selected by convenient sampling and investigated with the self-designed hospital infection knowledge questionnaire. t test and variance analysis were used to compare the knowledge level of hospital infection between nurses with different characteristics. Results? The score for hospital infection knowledge in the 872 nurses from key clinical departments was (20.34±3.21), and the score in 61.58% of them was ≥20;the highest scoring rate was found in hand hygiene, while the lowest scoring rate was found in infectious disease knowledge and diagnosis; and there were statistical differences in knowledge level of hospital infection between nurses from different departments and with different professional title, educational background and students to teach or not (F/t=4.39, -3.69, -3.13, 5.24; P＜0.05). Conclusions? The knowledge level of hospital infection control in nurses of key clinical departments stands at a low level. Targeted training should be provided to nurses with different characteristics. Multiple management measures need to be taken to strengthen the supervision and monitoring over these departments, enhance the infection control ability in nurses from key departments, and prevent hospital infection.
