Introduction: Severe anxiety disorders experienced by patients with chronic kidney failure always increase up to 68.7% in undergoing hemodialysis therapy. Management of patients with kidney failure is basically by doing hemodialysis. One of the psychological measures to reduce the anxiety of patients undergoing hemodialysis is to perform progressive muscle relaxation. Aim: Knowing the effect of progressive muscle relaxation techniques on anxiety in patients undergoing hemodialysis. related to nurses’ knowledge about IPC application with 20 questions. Meanwhile, the implementation of IPC is carried out using a checklist from IPC surveillance conducted by infection prevention control nurse (IPCN). Three hundred thirty-six nurses observations were obtained from this study. Data analysis used descriptive and inferential regression to investigate the characteristics, knowledge, and implementation of IPC. Results: The results showed that almost all nurses in private hospitals had received training related to the application of IPC. Most nurses’ knowledge is good, although all components have not reached maximum values. There are still several IPC components, such as patient placement, environmental, and PPE usage, that still need to be improved. No significant relationship was found between knowledge and the application of IPC in the COVID-19 ward. Conclusion: It is necessary to conduct intensive training that involves observation of essential domains of IPC for both nurses and IPCN. This study had some implications on clinical practice that components of IPC training need to more emphasize on observation skills. Further study is needed to investigate the availability of facilities in the treatment room, organizational support, and internal factors to fully capture the IPC implementation.

“…This was because human resources were considered capable of solving something and became a resource that can control other resources (8). One of the roots causes of low performance of the IPC team was the lack of socialization of the program to the IPC team through education and training, and even knowledge of infection prevention and control was considered to be an obstacle for health workers in implementing IPC (6,(9)(10)(11). Education and training is an effort to develop human resources, especially for increasing professionalism related to administrative skills and management skills (leadership).…”

Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) atau infeksi nosokomial masih menjadi masalah yang paling sering terjadi pada pelayanan kesehatan. Rumah sakit perlu melaksanakan pencegahan dan pengendalian infeksi (PPI) sebagai standar mutu pelayanan rumah sakit serta untuk melindungi pasien, petugas kesehatan dan pengunjung dari kejadian infeksi yang tidak diharapkan. Pada kenyataannya, pelaksanaan program pencegahan dan pengendalian infeksi di berbagai rumah sakit belum terlaksana dengan baik. Penelitian ini menganalisis faktor yang mempengaruhi pelaksanaan program pencegahan dan pengendalian infeksi di rumah sakit. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literature review dengan menggunakan 11 artikel yang berasal dari berbagai data sources. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang memengaruhi pelaksanaan program pencegahan dan pengendalian infeksi di rumah sakit yaitu faktor fungsi manajemen, peran dan fungsi kepala ruangan, ketersediaan sarana dan prasarana, serta faktor budaya organisasi.

“…are not priority pathogens in Nigeria and the ability of our system to pivot towards identifying and characterizing the outbreak strains points to the necessary agility that genomic surveillance can provide a fledgling AMR surveillance system. Altogether, the large number of likely outbreak clusters we have identified in our short time of operation point to a need to bolster infection prevention and control practices in sentinel hospitals, which is underway [39, 40]. To have maximum impact on outbreak trajectory, WGS would confirm the outbreak early and in time to intervene.…”

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is finding important applications in the surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), providing the most granular data and broadening the scope of niches and locations that can be surveilled. A common but often overlooked application of WGS is to replace or augment reference laboratory services for AMR surveillance. WGS has supplanted traditional strain subtyping in many comprehensive reference laboratories and is now the gold standard for rapidly ruling isolates into or out of suspected outbreak clusters. These and other properties give WGS the potential to serve in AMR reference functioning where a reference laboratory did not hitherto exist. In this perspective, we describe how we have employed a WGS approach, and an academic–public health system collaboration, to provide AMR reference laboratory services in Nigeria, as a model for leapfrogging to national AMR surveillance.
