The effect of leadership support for adherence to infection control and prevention (IPC) measures has been demonstrated. To expand this support, a target group-specific educational study for chief medical officers (CMO) was implemented and its influence on IPC indicators was investigated.
A controlled cohort study was conducted between 2018 and 2019. The intervention based on an initial workshop, an e-learning course, and a final meeting. Participants' activities involving IPC management were surveyed. Consumption of alcohol hand rub (AHR) and incidence density of hospital-associated (HA) Clostridioides difficile-associated infections (CDI) were analyzed.
Eight percent of 360 CMOs invited participated in the initial workshop; 70% of those participants registered for the online course. Overall, 43% completed the post-intervention questionnaire, in which 85% of respondents reported increased collaboration with relevant stakeholders. The pre-intervention median AHR consumption was higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Both groups showed an increase (38.6 (interquartile range (IQR) 33.6; 45.0) to 41.9 ml/patient day (PD) (IQR 35.0; 56.6) and 33.4 (IQR 28.3; 40.8) to 35.8 ml/ PD (IQR 31.6; 43.2), respectively). Pre-intervention median HA CDI cases were lower in the intervention group than in the control group. Both groups reported a decrease (0.22 (IQR 0.17; 0.33) to 0.19 cases/1000 PD (IQR 0.15; 0.26) and 0.32 (IQR 0.2; 0.48) to 0.22 cases/1000 PD (IQR 0.11; 0.33), respectively).
Multimodal IPC training of CMOs is worthwhile and can lead to changes in IPC-relevant cooperation in hospitals. IPC training of hospital management should be further intensified.
领导力对遵守感染控制和预防(IPC)措施的支持效果已得到证实。为了扩大这种支持,针对首席医疗官(CMO)实施了一项针对特定目标群体的教育研究,并调查了其对 IPC 指标的影响。
本研究采用对照队列研究,于 2018 年至 2019 年进行。该干预措施基于初始研讨会、在线学习课程和最终会议。调查参与者参与 IPC 管理的活动。分析酒精擦手液(AHR)的消耗量和医院相关(HA)艰难梭菌相关感染(CDI)的发病率密度。
360 名受邀的 CMO 中,有 8%参加了初始研讨会;其中 70%的参与者注册了在线课程。共有 43%的人完成了干预后的问卷调查,其中 85%的受访者报告称与相关利益攸关方的合作有所增加。干预组的 AHR 消耗量在干预前高于对照组。两组均有所增加(38.6(四分位距(IQR)33.6;45.0)至 41.9 ml/患者天(PD)(IQR 35.0;56.6)和 33.4(IQR 28.3;40.8)至 35.8 ml/PD(IQR 31.6;43.2))。干预前,HA CDI 病例在干预组中低于对照组。两组均有所下降(0.22(IQR 0.17;0.33)至 0.19 例/1000 PD(IQR 0.15;0.26)和 0.32(IQR 0.2;0.48)至 0.22 例/1000 PD(IQR 0.11;0.33))。
对 CMO 进行多模式 IPC 培训是值得的,可以导致医院内与 IPC 相关的合作发生变化。应进一步加强对医院管理层的 IPC 培训。
