Objective To analyze themonitoring results of environmental hygiene inthe Blood Purification-Center and explore the management. Methods Hospitalinfection control personnel carried on the environmental hygiene monitoring in the blood purification center from 2010 January 2010 to December 2014. A total of 656 sampleswere examined , with monitoring covering airindex , surface of objects , hands of medical staffs and dialysis water. The infections from temporarydouble lumen catheteration were analyzed during the period. Results Of the 656 examinedsamples, 613 were qualified, with the overall pass rate of 96.4%. All the monitoring samples basi-cally achieved the qualified standard, with zero detection rate of the pathogen. The temporarydouble lumen catheterinfection rate was decreased from 8.6% to 3.4% during the period andthe difference was statistically sig-nificant between 2014 and 2010 (χ2 = 7.73, P < 0.01). Conclusion Strengthening the environmental hygiene monitoring may help increase the dialysis treatment and nursing work , decrease the infection rate of temporary dou-ble lumen catheter in hemodialysis patients and improve their quality of life.

PURPOSE: Interventions targeting multiple risk behaviors have the potential to offer greater health benefits on public health. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a Workplace Multiple Cardiovascular Disease Risks Reduction Program (WMCVDRRP) on male participants at high risk for cardiovascular disease. METHODS: One group pretest-posttest design was applied in this study. No control group was assigned as this study was the first one in Taiwan conducted to promote participants' health using WMCVDRRP and thus with the nature of a pilot study. The program design was based on the collaboration between the health clinic at the corporation and a nursing school targeting six health behaviors. Of the 465 individuals who participated, data from 283 participants were included in the analysis. The change in any of six health behaviors and eight physical indicators were tested as the effect of the WMCVDRRP. RESULTS: Nearly 40% of the participants improved their regular exercise, diet control, stress management, and medication adherence. Although the improvement in drinking behaviors did not show statistical significance, 21% of the participants changed in alcohol consumption and 21% quit smoking. Eight physical indicators including systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, body fat, and muscle weight improved significantly. CONCLUSION: Dual collaboration between the industry and nursing schools could establish a cost-effective program to improve health behaviors and health status of participants.
