The Standard Precautions (SP) are measures to reduce the risk of transmission of bloodborne and other pathogens, and should be used by health professionals in the care of all patients regardless of their condition of infection. However, suboptimal compliance with SP has been consistently reported in the nursing literature. This study evaluated the differences of compliance with SP among nurses from Brazil and Hong Kong. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 countries-Hong Kong and Brazil-with nurses working in hospitals who responded to a self-administered questionnaire with demographic data and responses to a 20-item Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale. The compliance rate of 560 nurses was 69.4% for the Brazilian sample and 57.4% for the Hong Kong sample. The additional clinical experience of the Brazilian nurses versus those in Hong Kong may be related to differences in compliance with SP between nurses.
标准预防措施(SP)是降低血源性病原体和其他病原体传播风险的措施,所有医护人员在护理所有患者时均应采用,无论患者的感染状况如何。然而,护理文献中一直报道对标准预防措施的依从性欠佳。本研究评估了巴西和香港护士在标准预防措施依从性方面的差异。这项横断面研究在两个国家(香港和巴西)开展,研究对象为在医院工作的护士,这些护士对一份包含人口统计学数据的自填问卷以及一份20项的标准预防措施依从性量表做出了回应。560名护士的依从率在巴西样本中为69.4%,在香港样本中为57.4%。与香港护士相比,巴西护士更多的临床经验可能与护士在标准预防措施依从性方面的差异有关。
