Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Meaningful research creates evidence for Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practice.
UNASSIGNED: To establish Infection Prevention Society (IPS) members\' research priorities to support future research projects.
UNASSIGNED: A mixed methods convergent parallel design incorporating a cross-sectional survey of IPS members (2022-2023), and focus group findings from the IPS Consultative Committee, (October 2022). Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were transcribed verbatim, entered into NVivo 12, and analysed using a thematic analysis approach.
UNASSIGNED: 132 IPS members responded to the survey, including 120 (90.9%) nurses. The three most prevalent priorities were: Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (n = 84, 16.1%); IPC Training and Education (n = 77, 14.8%); and IPC Evidence-based Guidelines (n = 76, 14.6%). Analysis of the focus group transcripts identified six emergent themes \'Patient Centred Care\', \'Training and Education\', \'IPC Role and Identity\', \'IPC Leadership\', \'IPC is Everyone\'s Responsibility\', and \'Research Activity\'. Triangulation of findings demonstrated concordance between quantitative and qualitative findings with Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS) and Training and Education identified as priority research areas.
UNASSIGNED: This study highlights the necessity of developing support systems and incorporating research priorities in QIPS, as well as Training and Education. The findings of this study align with the recommended core competencies and components for effective infection prevention and control programs, making them relevant to QIPS initiatives. The outcomes of the study will serve as a valuable resource to guide the IPS Research and Development Committee in delivering practical support to IPS members.
摘要:
有意义的研究为感染预防和控制(IPC)实践创造了证据。
建立感染预防协会(IPS)成员的研究重点,以支持未来的研究项目。
混合方法收敛并行设计,结合了IPS成员的横截面调查(2022-2023),以及IPS咨询委员会的焦点小组调查结果,(2022年10月)。使用描述性统计分析定量数据。定性数据逐字转录,进入NVivo12,并使用专题分析方法进行分析。
132个IPS成员回应了调查,其中120名(90.9%)护士。三个最普遍的优先事项是:质量改进和患者安全(n=84,16.1%);IPC培训和教育(n=77,14.8%);和IPC循证指南(n=76,14.6%)。对焦点小组成绩单的分析确定了六个紧急主题“以患者为中心的护理”,“培训和教育”,\'IPC角色和身份\',\'IPC领导\',\'IPC是每个人的责任\'',和“研究活动”。结果的三角测量表明,定量和定性结果与质量改善和患者安全(QIPS)以及培训和教育之间的一致性被确定为优先研究领域。
这项研究强调了在QIPS中开发支持系统和纳入研究重点的必要性,以及培训和教育。这项研究的结果与推荐的核心能力和有效的感染预防和控制计划的组成部分相一致。使它们与QIPS计划相关。该研究的结果将作为指导IPS研究与发展委员会向IPS成员提供实际支持的宝贵资源。
