Abstract:
ObjectiveTo identify high-risk factors and high-risk process of nosocomial infection， and then take targeted prevention and control measures to improve nosocomial infection management. MethodsWe identified and determined the risk factors associated with nosocomial infection by using an expert brainstorming method， and then conducted risk assessment of the factors in the outcomes and process by using a semi-quantitative method. ResultsA total of 31 experts participated in the risk factor assessment. Risk assessment scores showed that nosocomial infection due to multi-drug resistant bacteria was the highest risk in the outcomes of nosocomial infection. Lack of isolation for airborne/droplet transmission， needle/sharp instrument injury， inadequate identification of infection risk and response measures in construction engineering， and insufficient implementation of infection control system were extremely high risk factors in the process of nosocomial infection. ConclusionPrevention and control should be strengthened on multi-drug resistant bacteria and catheter-related infections. The role of multidisciplinary team （MDT） in the prevention and control of nosocomial infection should be enhanced in medical practice. Risk assessment may facilitate the resource allocation and improve hand hygiene behavior.
