  • Cross-sectional Study on Nosocomial Infection in A Grass-roots Hospital between 2013 and 2014

    ObjectiveTo explore the current situation of nosocomial infection, sample test and use of antibiotics in the in-patients, so as to provide scientific evidence for control and prevention of nosocomial infection. MethodsBedside investigation and medical records checking were adapted to conduct cross-sectional survey among all the in-patients in 2013 and 2014. ResultsOn July 16 th, 2013 (00:00-24:00) and September 10 th, 2014 (00:00-24:00), a total of 1 400 in-patients were investigated in whom 68 with nosocomial infection were diagnosed, with a prevalence rate of 4.86%. No statistical difference were found between the two year's prevalence rate (χ2=1.341, P=0.264). The prevalence rate of Intensive Care Unit, Department of Neurosurgery (including Department of Thoracic Surgery) and Department General Surgery ranked the first three places, and the most common infection position was respiratory tract (61.76%). The usage rate of antibiotics was 48.00% in the two years, and no statistical difference was observed in the usage rate between the two years (χ2=1.309, P=0.261). Therapeutic use (67.86%) and onefold use (90.33%) accounted for most of antibiotics use. Test rate of therapeutic antibiotics use was 49.17% and no statistical difference was observed in the test rates between the two years (χ2=2.023, P=0.170). ConcluslonsThe nosocomial infection rate was stably high in the two years. To prevent and control nosocomial infection effectively, medical personnels knowledge and skills on nosocomial infection should be improved, surveillance and guidance towards key departments should be strengthened and clinicians' diagnosis and treatment behaviors should further be regulated.
