A random sample of 1000 general practitioners in New Zealand were surveyed to assess their infection control procedures in the surgery, particularly since the emergence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Forty three per cent of the sample routinely used surgical gloves for minor surgical procedures, 8% used gloves for venepuncture, and 7% for blood glucose testing. Thirty two per cent reported a change in glove use since the emergence of HIV infection. Changes in sterilization procedures were also studied. Thirty eight per cent of the sample reported increased use of disposable equipment, and 38% reported changes in the sterilization solution used. Increased time spent by equipment in the sterilizer was reported by 33% of respondents and increased use of an autoclave by 18%. In general, women were more likely to have adopted infection control procedures than men. Infection control was also more common among those doctors having the greatest number of patients requesting HIV testing.
对新西兰1000名全科医生进行了随机抽样调查,以评估他们在诊所的感染控制程序,尤其是自人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)出现以来的情况。43%的抽样医生在进行小手术时常规使用手术手套,8%在静脉穿刺时使用手套,7%在进行血糖检测时使用手套。32%的受访者表示自HIV感染出现以来手套使用情况有所变化。还研究了消毒程序的变化。38%的抽样医生报告增加了一次性设备的使用,38%报告了所使用消毒溶液的变化。33%的受访者报告设备在消毒器中的停留时间增加,18%报告增加了高压灭菌器的使用。总体而言,女性比男性更有可能采用感染控制程序。在那些有最多患者要求进行HIV检测的医生中,感染控制也更为普遍。
