Application effect of action research method in the management of infection in operating room
Objective To analyze the application effect of the action research method on the management of infection in the operating room.Methods A total of 6466 patients who underwent surgery from January 2020 to December 2020 were collected in the control group,and intervened by traditional management measures in infection management.The other 6466 patients who underwent surgery from January 2021 to December 2021 were collected in the observation group,and the action research method was implemented.The knowledge,belief,and practice levels of infection prevention and control,infection management effects,disinfection qualifications,and infection occurrences among medical staff in the two groups were compared.Results After strengthening infection management,the score of knowledge,belief,and behavior of medical staff in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group([106.08±9.31]points vs[92.96±10.55]points,P<0.05).In the observation group,the scores of medical waste treatment,article and drug management,equipment management,environmental disinfection and cleaning,occupational protection and safety management were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).In the observation group,the sampling qualification rates of sterile items,hand hygiene of medical staff,item surface,operating room air and disinfectant used were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).In the observation group,the infection rate of surgical incision was significantly lower than that of the control group(1.23‰ vs 2.62‰,P<0.05).Conclusion The application of the action research method to the management of infection in the operating room has a significant effect,which can improve the knowledge,belief,and practice of infection prevention and control among medical staff,the effect of infection management,and the qualified level of disinfection,as well as reduce the incidence of infection.
