The prevention of infections continues to be a challenge for many hospitals. We examined specific features of nursing leadership and found improvements in leadership were associated with a decrease in catheter-associated urinary tract infection. Infection prevention efforts in acute care hospitals should focus on nurse leaders and their ability to provide the support necessary to improve care delivery-support that could be instrumental in the reduction and the elimination of catheter-associated urinary tract infection.
预防感染仍然是许多医院面临的挑战。我们研究了护理领导力的具体特征，发现领导力的提高与导尿管相关尿路感染的减少有关。急性保健医院的感染预防工作应侧重于护士领导者及其提供必要支持以改善护理服务的能力——这对于减少和消除导尿管相关尿路感染可能是至关重要的。
