This retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in four community hospitals in Los Angeles County, California. The assumption of this study was, coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) contributed to the increase in healthcare workers compliance with infection prevention measures. IP initiatives fostered among HCWs have increased awareness of effective hand washing, cleaning equipment after use and appropriate personal protective equipment use which has subsequently decreased healthcare acquired infections with multidrug-resistant organisms.
本回顾性、横断面研究在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县的四家社区医院进行。本研究的假设是,新型冠状病毒病-19(COVID-19)导致医护人员对感染预防措施的遵守率提高。在医护人员中推行的感染预防计划提高了对有效洗手、使用后清洁设备和适当使用个人防护设备的认识,从而减少了医疗机构获得的耐多药病原体感染。
