ABSTRACT:
Prevention of infection and control is an integral component of nursing care delivery in any setting to reduce risks for morbidity and mortality in patients and care givers at all levels. A descriptive correlational research design was conducted in the labor room of Obstetric ward of SJMCH, Bangalore. A total of 42 parturient mothers and 62 HCP were the samples. A non participatory observation was done on compliance of infection control protocol (HH, PPE, BMW) using checklist by the investigator. These mothers were observed for puerperal infection on 1st, 2nd and 3rd day for pyrexia, REEDA scale for Episiotomy wound (only 3rd day) and Follow up on Mothers was done by telephonic enquiry on 10th day for the assessment of infection. The finding of the study showed that compliance to infection control protocols: HH (41.67%), PPE (90.32%) and BMW is (98%) respectively. The incidence of episiotomy wound infection on 3rd day is 9.5% and on 10th day (follow up) there is no evidence of infection. The study finding showed that health care professional were not fully complied to the infection control protocols. Although there was mild redness and edema of episiotomy wound and no incidence of puerperal infection identified among mothers. There was no association found between professonal variables and compliance to infection control protocols.
