Objective To understand the current status of the job competency of full-time healthcare-associated in-fection(HAI)management professionals in all levels and types of medical institutions across China,and provide in-formation and basis for professional training,competency improvement,and career planning.Methods The strati-fied sampling method was adopted to select HAI management professionals from medical institutions in 31 provin-cial-level administrative regions across the country as the research subjects.The designed content of questionnaire involved four parts,including the surveyed personnel's basic information,daily job competency assessment,satis-faction level towards the job,as well as opinions and suggestions on the management of full-time HAI management professionals.The assessment on daily job competency was divided into 13 dimensions,ranging from very incompe-tent to very competent in 5 levels.The scores of HAI management professionals with different professional back-grounds were compared and analyzed.Results A total of 8 709 valid questionnaires were collected,with 3 475 and 3 697 surveyed personnel from tertiary and secondary medical institutions,respectively,and 1 537 from primary or unclassified medical institutions.The overall average score for the competency assessment of full-time HAI manage-ment professionals was(4.17±0.80)points.The scores of professionals with different professional backgrounds,from high to low,were as follows:nursing([4.12±0.81]points),clinical medicine([4.07±0.86]points),pre-ventive medicine([3.93±0.92]points),laboratory medicine([3.88±0.93]points),pharmacy([3.86±0.94]points),and health management([3.85±0.95]points).For the core competency of HAI management professio-nals,such as monitoring and analyzing HAI cases,identifying and investigating HAI outbreaks,the assessment scores for professionals with medical backgrounds were the highest(both P＜0.05).For the basic work of HAI prevention and control,such as checking and guiding the implementation of rules and regulations,guiding occupa-tional protection,management and communication,and implementing HAI management training,professionals with a nursing background had the highest assessment scores(all P＜0.05).Full-time HAI management professionals were relatively satisfied with their training,while those with a background in preventive medicine had lower satisfac-tion with their training,career development,and job benefits(all P＜0.05).Conclusion There are significant differences in the competency of HAI management professionals with different professional backgrounds.It is nece-ssary to optimize division of labor and leverage the strengths,providing ideas and models for promoting the construction of a specialized and professional HAI management team.

OBJECTIVE To construct an intervention tool for poor compliance of specimen collection and submission before the therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents.METHODS An intervention tool for the poor compliance of spec-imen collection and submission before the therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents was developed through literature review,research group discussions,and two rounds of expert consultations.The tool was subsequently applied in clinical practice to verify its effectiveness.RESULTS The authority coefficient of the consulted experts was 0.95,the feedback rate of the two rounds of expert consultations was 100.00%.The coefficients of variation of the two rounds of consultations were 14.77%and 8.60%,and Kendall's Concordance Coefficients were 0.787 and 0.854(all P<0.05).Finally,an intervention tool for the poor compliance of specimen collection and submission before the therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents was formed,which consisted of 2 first-level items,9 second-level i-tems,and 19 third-level items.After one round of intervention with this tool,the rates of specimen collection and submission before the therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents,the rates of pathogen detection related to healthcare-associated infections,and the rates of pathogen detection before the combined use of key drugs reached the expec-ted targets(69.36%,99.00%and 100.00%,respectively).CONCLUSIONS The intervention tool for the poor compliance of specimen collection and submission before the therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents constructed based on the Delphi method demonstrates high reliability and practicality.It can be used to improve the behavior intervention of specimen collection and submission before the therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents.Moreover,it provides a reference for the intervention strategies in increasing the awareness of specimen collection and submis-sion among the target population,ensuring the correct timing of specimen collection orders,and excuting medical orders at reasonable time nodes.

Objective: To observe antipyretic, diuresis, anti inflammatory and antisepsis effects of Qinglin Granules. (Herba Polygoni Avicularis, Herba Dianthi, Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis, Semen Plantaginis, Fructus Gardeniae, etc.) Methods: The model of pyretic rats induced by yeast was used to prove antipyretic action. The diuresis action was observed by the test. The anti inflammatory effect was observed by pettitoes swelling in rats and auricle swelling in mice. The paper diffuse methods were used to confirm the antisepsis effect. Results: Qinglin Granules not only had the obvious effect of relieving fever and increasing the amount of urine, but also had the strong inhibition on the two kinds of inflammatory models, moreover it can widen the diameter of the antisepsis ring which showed it had the inhibition on cdibacillus, pseudomonas, aeruginosa, bacillus gasoformans, staphylococcus aureus and gonococcic. Conclusion: Qinglin Granules have the obvious antipyretic, diuresis, anti inflammatory and antisepsis effects.
