Abstract

AIM

To study presence and activity of Infection Control Nurses (ICN) in Italian National Health System (NHS) hospitals.

BACKGROUND

Infection Control Nurses play an essential and evidence-based role for optimal infrastructure and essential activities of infection control and epidemiology programmes in hospitals.

METHODS

A survey of all Italian NHS hospitals (N = 529). Hospital health directors were asked to complete a questionnaire with a specific section on ICN presence, activities and roles played. Response rate was 87.5% (463 of 529).

RESULTS

More than 50% of hospitals (250 of 463) have an ICN: 25% (116 of 463) have at least one part-time employed ICN and 23.3% (108 of 250) have at least one ICN employed full-time. Infection Control Nurses are more common in hospitals with >250 beds (P < 0.01). Infection Control Nurses working in hospitals with >250 beds are highly active in surveillance activities, personnel education and management of study groups (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS

In Italian NHS hospitals ICNs have yet to become pillar figures in hospital infection control.

摘要

目的

研究意大利国家卫生系统（NHS）医院中感染控制护士（ICN）的配备情况及工作开展情况。

背景

感染控制护士在医院感染控制和流行病学项目的优化基础设施及关键活动中发挥着重要且基于证据的作用。

方法

对意大利所有NHS医院（共529家）进行调查。要求医院的卫生主管填写一份问卷，问卷中有关于ICN配备情况、工作及所发挥作用的特定部分。回复率为87.5%（529家中的463家）。

结果

超过50%的医院（463家中的250家）配备了ICN：25%（463家中的116家）至少有一名兼职ICN，23.3%（250家中的108家）至少有一名全职ICN。感染控制护士在床位超过250张的医院中更为常见（P<0.01）。在床位超过250张的医院工作的感染控制护士在监测活动、人员教育和研究小组管理方面非常活跃（P<0.01）。
