ObjectiveThrough dynamic monitoring of bacterial contamination of the bedside curtain in different time periods, the bacterial contamination of the bedside curtain in different time periods was analyzed.MethodsThe bedside curtain in the pediatric ward and obstetric ward were selected, between April and September 2019. All bedside curtains were sampled for bacterial contamination on the day after the replacement of it. During the continuous use of the bedside curtain for 6 months, the bacterial contamination was monitored at 1-, 2-, 3- and 6- months respectively.ResultsA total of 2 058 samples were monitored, including 1 041 in the pediatric ward and 1 017 in the obstetric ward. After continuous use for 2 months, there was clear pollution in the bedside curtain of pediatric ward, and the unqualified rate was 65.24%. Obstetrical ward were contaminated significantly after 1 month of use, and the unqualified rate was 51.96%.ConclusionsAs part of the sickbed unit, the bedside curtain is frequently touched by the hands of patients, family members and medical personnel during use. It is suggested that the septum should be replaced once a month in common wards and in time in case of pollution. For departments received patients with low immunity, the frequency of replacement should be increased to reduce environmental risk factors.
