Abstract:
Objective? To investigate the effect of guided flow in reducing nosocomial influenza infection. Methods? By convenience sampling, from October 2017 to March 2018, a total of 266 patients with flu-like symptoms aged 60 years or more who attended in the Department of Outpatient and Emergency, Health Care Sector, Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected. The patients were numbered according to the time of admission, and divided into the control group (n=120) who were admitted from October to December of 2017 and the observation group (n=146) who were admitted from January to March of 2018. Routine flu nursing flow was adopted for the control group, while guided nursing flow was adopted for the observation group. The general profile of the patients was recorded, and the two groups were compared in terms of the infection rate in medical staff and satisfaction degree towards the quality of nursing care. Results? The rate of infection and satisfaction degree towards the quality of nursing care was 30.43% and 74.17% in the control group and 4.35% and 89.73% in the observation group respectively. After the adoption of the guided flow nursing procedure, the rate of infection in medical staff reduced and the satisfaction degree towards the quality of nursing care increased with statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions? The implementation of guided flow intervention can timely isolate and diagnose influenza virus, reduce the probability of cross-infection, prescribe symptomatic medication, reduce the complications of elderly influenza patients, and the regular follow-up visit can improve patients' satisfaction towards the quality of nursing care.
