Abstract

Nursing homes (NH) conceptually should look as much like a home as possible. However NH have unquestionable similarities with a nosocomium as they are places where many patients with underlying diseases and comorbidities accumulate. There is evidence of transmission of microorganisms between residents and between residents and caregivers. We have not found any recommendations specifically aimed at the prevention of nosocomial infections in NH by the major Public Health Agencies and, therefore, the Health Sciences Foundation (Fundación de Ciencias de la Salud) has convened a series of experts and 14 Spanish scientific societies to discuss recommendations that could guide NH personnel in establishing written programs for the control and reduction of these infections. The present document is the result of these deliberations and contains suggestions for establishing such control programs on a voluntary and flexible basis in NH. We also hope that the document can help the health authorities to encourage this control activity in the different territorial areas of Spain. In our opinion, it is necessary to draw up a written plan and establish the figure of a coordinator or person responsible for implementing these projects. The document includes measures to be implemented and ways of quantifying the reality of different problems and of monitoring the impact of the measures established.

在养老院预防保健相关感染的建议。
养老院(NH)在概念上应该看起来尽可能像一个家。然而,NH与医院有毫无疑问的相似之处,因为它们是许多潜在疾病和合并症患者积聚的地方。有证据表明微生物在居民之间以及居民与护理人员之间传播。我们没有发现任何主要公共卫生机构专门针对NH医院感染预防的建议,因此,健康科学基金会(Fundación de Ciencias de la Salud)召集了一系列专家和14个西班牙科学协会,讨论可以指导NH人员制定控制和减少这些感染的书面计划的建议。本文件是这些审议的结果,其中载有在挪威自愿和灵活的基础上建立这种控制方案的建议。我们还希望该文件能够帮助卫生当局鼓励在西班牙不同领土地区开展这种控制活动。我们认为,有必要制定一份书面计划,并设立一个协调员或负责执行这些项目的人。该文件包括要执行的措施,以及量化不同问题的现实和监测所制定措施的影响的方法。
