Abstract

Background: Despite the widespread prevalence of spina bifida and its impact on individual learners, there is limited information on how infection control is managed in the school environment.

Objective: This scoping review was conducted to map the evidence on infection control programmes at schools for learners with spina bifida (LSB) globally.

Methods: This review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for the scoping review. A database search was conducted on an internet browser search on MEDLINE, PUBMED, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, ERIC and Google search engines.

Results: A total of five articles met the inclusion criteria. Most of the schools in the study did not have special facilities or running water to accommodate basic infection control procedures.

Conclusion: Collaboration between policymakers, specialists of spina bifida and infection control in the health sector, the Association of Spina Bifida, specialists in spina bifida under the Department of Education and researchers is needed to improve the lives of LSB through infection control.

Contribution: The study will contribute to the improvement of training of staff working with LSB and the need for more research.

脊柱裂患者学校的感染控制：范围综述。

背景：尽管脊柱裂的发病率很高，而且对学习者个人的影响也很大，但有关在学校环境中如何进行感染控制的信息却很有限：本次范围界定审查旨在对全球脊柱裂患者（LSB）学校感染控制计划的证据进行摸底：本综述采用乔安娜-布里格斯研究所（Joanna Briggs Institute）的方法进行范围界定综述。通过互联网浏览器在 MEDLINE、PUBMED、EBSCOhost、Google Scholar、ERIC 和 Google 搜索引擎上进行数据库搜索：共有五篇文章符合纳入标准。研究中的大多数学校都没有专门的设施或自来水来满足基本的感染控制程序：结论：需要政策制定者、卫生部门的脊柱裂和感染控制专家、脊柱裂协会、教育部的脊柱裂专家和研究人员通力合作，通过感染控制改善脊柱裂患者的生活：贡献：这项研究将有助于改善对从事脊柱裂患者工作的人员的培训，并有助于满足开展更多研究的需要。

期刊介绍： The African Journal of Disability, the official journal of CRS, AfriNEAD and CEDRES, introduce and discuss issues and experiences relating to and supporting the act of better understanding the interfaces between disability, poverty and practices of exclusion and marginalisation. Its articles yield new insight into established human development practices, evaluate new educational techniques and disability research, examine current cultural and social discrimination, and bring serious critical analysis to bear on problems shared across the African continent. Emphasis is on all aspects of disability particularity in the developing African context. This includes, amongst others: -disability studies as an emerging field of public health enquiry -rehabilitation, including vocational and community-based rehabilitation -community development and medical issues related to disability and poverty -disability-related stigma and discrimination -inclusive education -legal, policy, human rights and advocacy issues related to disability -the role of arts and media in relation to disability -disability as part of global Sustainable Development Goals transformation agendas -disability and postcolonial issues -globalisation and cultural change in relation to disability -environmental and climate-related issues linked to disability -disability, diversity and intersections of identity -disability and the promotion of human development.
