Objective To investigate the prevalence rate of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in Xiangya Hospital,and provide reference for preventing and controlling HAI.Methods The cross sectional surveys on preva-lence rates of HAI,cross-sectional antimicrobial use,and bacterial detection among all hospitalized patients on the given days in 2000-2014 (except 2006)were carried out by combination of bedside investigation and medical record reviewing.Results The prevalence rates of HAI in 2000-2014 decreased from 6.30% to 3.91%,difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 35.14,P < 0.001 );prevalence rates of community-associated infection(CAI)were 15.61%-15.76%,there was no significant difference among each year.General intensive care unit (ICU)had the highest prevalence rate;respiratory tract was the most common site of both HAI and CAI;urinary catheterization rate showed a decreased tendency,arteriovenous catheterization rate showed a increased tendency,difference were both significant(χ2 = 5.21,96.24,respectively,both P <0.001).In 2008 - 2014,pathogenic detection rates for specimens from patients receiving therapeutic antimicrobial agents were 36.37%-44.51%,from patients with HAI were 34.00%-44.99%,detection rate of pathogens causing HAI were 41.57%-68.48%,all showed a increased tendency,difference was significant (χ2 = 22.78,10.03,26.49,respectively,all P < 0.001 ).Gram-negative bacteria were the main pathogens causing infection;both cross sectional and combination antimicrobial usage rates declined (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Prevention and control of HAI,and antimicrobial management has achieved preliminary success,prevalence rate of HAI and cross sectional antimicrobial usage rate declined obviously,the main pathogen is gram-negative bacteria,and the major infection site is lower respiratory tract.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of patient participation and Internet plus in fall prevention management strategies of elderly inpatients and analyze the causes of falls, so as to provide a basis for continuous improvement in fall prevention to investigate their continuous improvement.Methods:A pre- and post-control study was conducted. Totally 8 480 elderly inpatients hospitalized in the Department of Internal Medicine from 1 June 2020 to 31 May 2021 in Chenzhou NO. 1 People′s Hospital were selected by convenient sampling as the control group, and 8 662 elderly inpatients hospitalized in the Department of Internal Medicine from 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2022 were in the experimental group. The routine fall prevention measures were used in the control group, and on this basis, the experimental group formulated and implemented fall prevention management strategies involving patients based on the patient participation framework "informing, participating, empowering, cooperating, and electronic information support" and introduced Internet plus. Then the differences between the two groups in terms of the incidence of falls and the satisfaction rate of nursing care were compared.Results:The experimental group included 8 662 cases (5 110 males and 3 552 females) with (73.96 ± 8.78) years old, while the control group included 8 480 cases (4 918 males and 3 562 females) with (74.11 ± 8.59) years old. The incidence of falls in experimental group (0.092%, 8/8 662) was lower than that in control group (0.224%, 19/8 480), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=4.71, P<0.05); the nursing care satisfaction rate of experimental group (98.880%, 8 565/8 662) was higher than that of control group (96.450%, 8 179/8 480), and the difference also was statistically significant ( χ 2=106.50, P<0.01); the analysis of the fall causes of the patients revealed that the toilet squatting commode was an important hidden risk of falls in elderly patients. Conclusions:Fall prevention management strategies based on patient participation can reduce the incidence of falls in elderly patients and improve the satisfaction rate of nursing care. Patient participation introduced "Internet plus" can prevent patient falls. The root causes of patient falls will continue to change, and care managers should continually track real-time changes in the root causes of falls to identify problems, develop and adjust prevention strategies accordingly, and pay attention to the importance of infrastructure in the safety of older patients.
