Abstract

Nurses play an important role as frontline staff in infection control. Continuing professional development (CPD) in microbiology is key to helping nurses stay up to date with the latest developments in this area. A pilot study was conducted to determine the value of a microbiology laboratory-based workshop to support regional nurses. A team of microbiology academics and clinical microbiologists presented the laboratory-based workshop at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga campus in New South Wales. Pre- and post-surveys were conducted. After the workshop, learners were significantly more confident explaining the process of culturing and identifying organisms from clinical samples (z=2.84, P=0.005), the importance of antimicrobial resistance in relation to common healthcare-associated infections (HAI) (z=2.56, P=0.011), cutting edge technology used in the rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases (z=2.69, P=0.007), and which antibiotics are appropriate for different bacterial infections (z=2.72, P=0.007). CPD opportunities such as workshops are vital for nurses in rural locations, particularly as health professional shortages in rural locations mean that nurses at all levels are required to take a lead role in infection control practices.

更正;农村护士微生物学教育持续专业发展策略

护士作为一线人员在感染控制中发挥着重要作用。微生物学的持续专业发展(CPD)是帮助护士跟上该领域最新发展的关键。进行了一项试点研究，以确定微生物实验室为基础的讲习班对支持区域护士的价值。一组微生物学学者和临床微生物学家在新南威尔士州查尔斯斯特大学沃加沃加校区的实验室研讨会上发表了演讲。进行了前后调查。讲习班结束后，学习者在解释临床样本中培养和鉴定微生物的过程(<italic>z</italic>=2.84， <italic> </italic>=0.005)、抗菌素耐药性对常见医疗保健相关感染(HAI)的重要性(<italic>z</italic>=2.56， <italic>P</italic>=0.011)、用于传染病快速诊断的尖端技术(<italic>z</italic>=2.69， <italic>P</italic>=0.007)，以及哪种抗生素适合不同的细菌感染(<italic>z</italic>=2.72， <italic>P</italic>=0.007)。诸如讲习班之类的持续专业发展机会对农村地区的护士至关重要，特别是因为农村地区卫生专业人员短缺，这意味着各级护士都需要在感染控制实践中发挥主导作用。
