Effect of Nursing Practice Environment, Nurse Staffing, Overtime and Hand Hygiene on Hospital-Acquired Infections in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital.
Aims: To investigate the impact of the nursing practice environment, nurse staffing, working overtime and compliance with hand hygiene standards on hospital-acquired infections.
Design: A multi-source quantitative study.
Methods: Nursing data were collected from selected wards in one hospital between 18 January 2021 and 15 March 2021. Hand hygiene compliance data were obtained retrospectively from Hand Hygiene Australia Audits between July 2018 and June 2021. Patient data were gathered from July 2018 to June 2021. Data from the three sources were linked together at the episode of care level. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise participant characteristics, and multiple logistic regression was employed to assess associations between the nursing practice environment, nurse staffing, overtime and hand hygiene with hospital-acquired infections.
Results: A total of 361 nurses participated in the nursing survey. There were 13,440 hand hygiene moments assessed, and 10,924 (81.3%) correct practices were observed. There were 71,257 patient care episodes, including 2037 with hospital-acquired infections. The odds of hospital-acquired infections decreased by 19% for every 10% increase in nurses' compliance with hand hygiene and decreased by 7% for each one standard deviation increase in the nursing practice environment scale. Each additional patient per nurse was associated with a 42% increase in the odds of a hospital-acquired infection.
Conclusion: This study found evidence that a favourable nursing practice environment, reduced nurse workload and compliance with hand hygiene are linked to a lower risk of hospital-acquired infections.
Impact: A favourable nursing practice environment contributes to fewer hospital-acquired infections. Monitoring of hand hygiene compliance provides important local information to support improvements in practice. Findings from this study can be used to support the implementation of safe nurse staffing policies that guide implementation of nurse-to-patient ratios.
Reporting method: RECORD Checklist.
Patient or public contribution: No Patient/Public Contribution.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Nursing (JCN) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of nursing practice. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports the practice and discipline of nursing. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, JCN seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on promoting critical debate on the art and science of nursing practice.
JCN is essential reading for anyone involved in nursing practice, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. The development of clinical practice and the changing patterns of inter-professional working are also central to JCN''s scope of interest. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice.
We publish high quality papers from across the methodological spectrum that make an important and novel contribution to the field of clinical nursing (regardless of where care is provided), and which demonstrate clinical application and international relevance.
