    Community Teaching Plan: Hygiene Practices in Preventing Hais

    Uploaded by

    Samwel Kangy
    This community teaching plan focuses on hygiene practices to prevent hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). HAIs, also known as nosocomial infections, are infections patients acquire during or after hospitalization. Approximately 15% of hospitalized patients suffer from HAIs. Proper hand hygiene is one of the most effective prevention strategies as hands are a common way infections spread. The teaching plan will discuss defining HAIs, risk factors, prevention strategies like proper hand washing techniques, and scenarios where hygiene is important.

    COMMUNITY TEACHING PLAN

    Hygiene Practices in Preventing HAIs

    Name

    INTRODUCTION
     Communities face multiple health challenges.
     While chronic conditions are common within a community,
    nosocomial infections (Hospital acquired infections) are
    common within transitional care facilities.
     Hospital acquired infections are common among
    hospitalized patients even though they can easily be
    prevented.
     The community teaching plan will therefore focus on
    hygiene practices during hospitalization period.
    OBJECTIVES
     Define hospital-acquired infections.
     Explore the epidemiology of hospital acquired infections.
     Review the prevalence, incidence, and clinical impact of HAIs.
     Risk factors for HAIs.
     Prevention Strategies.
     Discuss the importance of hygiene practices.
     Describe effective hygiene practices.
     Discuss effective hand washing techniques.
     Define scenarios where hygiene practices are paramount.
    ED
     Also referred to as nosocomial

    IRU infections, HAIs are infections

    BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH
    HAIS
    COMMON HAIS
     About 15% of all hospitalized

    patients suffer from HAIs.

     HAIs are responsible for


    EPIDEMIOLOGY
    between 4% and 56% of all

    deaths in neonates.
     1 in 31 hospitalized patients has
    at least 1 HAI.
     2015 hospital prevalence rate
    PREVALENCE
    was 16%.
    AND INCIDENCE
     In 2015, there were 687,000
    HAIs.
     72,000 hospital patients with
    HAIs died in 2015 (CDC, 2020).
     Surgery and reoperation.
     Invasive procedures (Zhao et al.
    2019).
     Long stays in risk units. RISK FACTORS
     Poor hygiene practices.
     Immune suppressing diseases.
    PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT
    STRATEGIES
     Hands are the most
    common ways through
    which infections agents
    are transmitted within the

    HAND HYGIENE environment and between


    patients.
    ND
     Reduce the incidence and

    HA cases of HAIs (Gould et al.


    OF
    2017).
     Enhance healthcare quality

    and safety.

     Safeguard the wellbeing of

    healthcare providers.
    IM
    HAND WASHING
     Antiseptic hand washing.
     Water and soap hand washing.
     Hand washing using alcohol-based
    sanitizers (Arias et al. 2016).

    TYPES OF HANDWASHING
     During surgery.
     When dressing patients.
     When using equipment
    SCENARIOS WHERE HYGIENE essential in care delivery.
    PRACTICES ARE PARAMOUNT  When conducting patient
    assessments.
    CONCLUSION
     The risk of HAIs increase due to poor hygiene practices.
     Proper hygiene practices minimize the risk of pathogen
    transmission.
     Environmental decontamination is also effective in
    eliminating the pathogens.
     Hand washing ensures that healthcare providers limit the
    spread of these pathogens.
