Abstract:
Objective To standardize and enhance the cleanliness of hospital floor and cleaning tools,significantly re-duce the influence of the predisposing factors that easily cause hospital-acquired infectious events,and reduce the possibility of such events due to inadequate cleaning and hygiene practices.Methods This study used Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital as the research subject,cleaning tools were washed using both traditional manual disinfection and centralized mechanical cleaning and disinfection methods.Relevant experimental data were collected and compared to determine which method was more effective in terms of cleaning quality and optimal utilization of human resources.Results The bacterial colony count of floor tow-els treated with centralized mechanical cleaning and disinfection[(2.34±0.78)cfu/cm2]was significantly lower than that of the traditional manual cleaning group[(32.34±15.63)cfu/cm2].Similarly,the bacterial colony count on the floor cleaned with me-chanically centralized disinfected towels[(4.75±1.58)cfu/cm2]was much lower than that of the traditional manual disinfection group[(17.74±10.21)cfu/cm2)].Additionally,the bacterial colony count on door handles treated with centralized mechanical disinfection[(2.8±1.2)cfu/cm2]was significantly lower than that of the manual method[(10.1±5.7)cfu/cm2].Conclusion The centralized mechanical cleaning and disinfection method significantly mitigates the risk of hospital-acquired infections caused by insufficient disinfection of cleaning tools,while improving both the efficiency and quality of sanitation processes.
