Exploring infection prevention practices in home-based nursing care: A qualitative observational study

Application of a Nursing Data-Driven Model for Continuous Improvement of PICC Care Quality

“…And the maintenance of catheters is related to whether patients can safely complete their treatment. The use of online platforms such as WeChat can strengthen the connection between nurses and between nurses and patients and ensure the continuity of care [ 14 ]. Before the catheter is placed, the PICC maintenance network allows for quick and easy access to the location of each maintenance site and informs patients of the maintenance site near their place of residence; after the catheter is placed, patients can receive efficient and standardized homogeneous nursing services at the nearest maintenance site through the regional nursing collaboration model, saving patients' time and expenses such as travel and accommodation costs so that patients can enjoy “home” maintenance services.…”

“…Attribute class information is used to describe the object class information of the interaction between simulation objects, such as the target trajectory information reported by radar. Event class information is used to describe the interaction class information between simulation objects, such as hard weapon target indication messages and radar status reporting messages [ 14 ].…”

Nursing care for patients carrying multi‐drug resistant organisms: Experiences, intention to use protective equipment and ability to comply with measures

“…The importance of the usability of protocols was also reported by nurses in our previous focus group study, where nurses also stated that they had a preference for a short and hands-on summary, in addition to a more extensive protocol as a reference (Eilers, 2019). Other studies on factors associated with compliance with IPC measures also suggest that the applicability of protocols is an important predictor and enabler of IPC practices (Adams et al, 2021;Wendt et al, 2022).…”

Author's response to ‘Comment on Wendt et al (2022) “Exploring infection prevention practices in home-based nursing care: A qualitative observational study”’

“…In our paper we concluded that “the daily practice of infection prevention in home-based nursing care appears to be suboptimal” ( Wendt et al., 2022 ). Professor Hallberg summarised the findings as an illustration of “poor practice, both at the level of the nurses and at the level of the organisations[…], through a “violation of knowledge, regulations and laws” and “harsh criticism” in the discussion would have been – in her view - appropriate.…”

“…We would like to thank professor Hallberg (2022) for her interest and thoughtful comments on our paper on exploring infection prevention practices in home-based nursing care ( Wendt et al., 2022 ) and thank the editor for the opportunity to respond to these comments. We would like to take advantage of this opportunity in the form of a short reply.…”
