ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of hospital infection management related to the hospital maternity ward, learn the risks of infection, discover problems existing in hospital infection management, and seek appropriate solutions for hospital infection. MethodsBetween January 2011 and December 2012, using uniform questionnaire for prospective survey and field interviews, we investigated the hospital infection situation in medical health care workers, pregnant women, and live newborns. ResultsA total of 2 225 questionnaires were retreated with a retreat rate of 100%. Hospital infection occurred in 23 cases, of which 15 cases were maternal infection (1.35%) and 8 cases were neonate infection (0.72%). Maternal infection was mainly focused on reproductive tract, surgery incision and urinary tract. Neonate infection was mainly focused on lower respiratory tract and skin. The management system of hospital infection in the maternity ward was basically strengthened, but the infection monitoring work was still not timely, and staff training in infection control knowledge was not in place. The overall environment, sterilization, disinfection and isolation should be strengthened, and there were also some other safety hazards. ConclusionThe management of infection in hospital maternity ward is the key to control the infection in maternity ward. The infection management seems perfect, but there are still some hidden dangers. The management system needs to be improved and the management should be implemented strictly according to the system, in order to avoid the occurrence of infection in maternity ward and ensure the safety of patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of visual disability in people with opportunistic diabetes based on the physical examination center, and explore its related factors. MethodsPeople who went to West China Hospital of Sichuan University (West China Hospital district and Wenjiang hospital district) for physical examination between January 2019 and March 2020 were selected. The subjects were those who had a history of diabetes or fasting blood glucose≥7 mmol/L or glycosylated hemoglobin≥6.5%. They were divided into two groups according to visual acuity. The physical examinees with low vision were the observation group, and the physical examinees with normal vision were the control group (the number of cases was twice that of the observation group). The relevant data of the two groups were observed and compared, and the risk factors of low vision were analyzed by logistic regression. ResultsA total of 1 636 physical examinees with diabetes were included. There were 158 cases in the observation group and 316 cases in the control group. 158 cases (203 eyes) had low vision, and the incidence was 6.20% (203/3272). The main diseases leading to low vision were cataract (92 cases, 58.23%), high myopia (32 cases, 20.25%) and diabetes retinopathy (20 cases, 12.66%). Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for low vision were age of diabetes patients, diabetes retinopathy, systolic blood pressure and glycosylated hemoglobin. ConclusionsThe incidence of low vision in diabetes population based on physical examination centers in Chengdu is low. Visual acuity examination should be strengthened for diabetes patients, especially the elderly, with diabetes retinopathy, high systolic blood pressure and glycosylated hemoglobin. Early effective prevention and treatment can reduce the damage to vision caused by diabetes.
Objective To understand the current situation of nosocomial infection management quality control centers at the municipal and county levels in Guizhou, so as to provide measures for promoting the construction of nosocomial infections management quality control centers at all levels in Guizhou. Methods From September 26th to October 12th 2023, based on the mobile network platform survey questionnaire of the infection prevention and control workshop, a survey was conducted on the establishment, personnel, information technology level, management, and quality control work of the nosocomial infection management quality control centers at the municipal and county levels in Guizhou. Results Nine prefecture-level cities/autonomous prefectures in Guizhou had established municipal-level nosocomial infection management quality control centers. The professional background of the staff at the municipal and county-level quality control centers was mainly nursing (accounting for 36.4% and 58.4%, respectively), and their educational background was mainly undergraduate (accounting for 70.5% and 83.3%, respectively). No quality control center at the municipal or county level had established an information-based quality control platform for nosocomial infection management within the region. Most county-level quality control centers did not have special funds (87.5%), and there were still 16 (25.0%) county-level quality control centers that had not established relevant systems for work and management. The main forms of quality control work carried out by each center were organizing training, on-site inspections, guidance and evaluation, and most of them were conducted irregularly. Conclusions Guizhou has basically formed a quality control system for nosocomial infection management at the provincial, municipal, and county levels. However, the nosocomial infection management quality control network has not fully covered all districts, and policies, funding support, and personnel allocation are still insufficient. Health administrative departments and quality control centers at all levels need to unify monitoring standards and quality control norms, strengthen supervision, improve quality control capabilities, and improve training systems to achieve standardization and normalization of quality control work throughout the province and improve quality control efficiency.
Objective To investigate the current status of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) in outpatient clinics of medical institutions in Sichuan, and to provide reference for further promoting the MDT model in outpatient clinics. Methods In November 2022, questionnaires were distributed to the outpatient management personnel of Sichuan Outpatient Management and Medical Quality Control Center from various medical institutions. The questionnaire included the basic information of the survey subjects and medical institutions, the current status of outpatient MDT work, the current status of operation and management, and the internal and external influencing factors of MDT development. Results A total of 106 questionnaires were received, of which 104 were valid. There were 70 hospitals that had provided outpatient MDT services, with a development rate of 67.31%, mainly concentrated in the past 5 years. A total of 60 hospitals (85.71%) had established MDT related systems, but only 14 hospitals (20.00%) had carried out relevant quality evaluation work. Among the 104 outpatient management personnel surveyed, 83.65% believed that the external factor affecting the development of outpatient MDT was the lack of correct understanding of MDT by patients, and 78.85% believed that the internal factor affecting the development of outpatient MDT was the low participation enthusiasm of departments and doctors. Conclusions The outpatient MDT in Sichuan is still in its early stages of development, and the outpatient MDT model has not yet been unified in terms of establishment standards, organizational methods, operational management, and fee standards. In the future, relevant departments and medical institutions still need to work together to promote its sustainable development.
ObjectiveTo analyze the 2023 learning society construction project in order to provide references for researchers in this field.
