ABSTRACT:
Background: Nurses in Intensive Care Units (ICU) have a vital role in reducing Central line associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) if they are well educated to use strategies to decrease Central line associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) rate which are based on the center for disease control and prevention guidelines (CDC) to improve patient’s outcomes. Health-care-associated infections are a huge concern in the intensive care units (ICUs) across the globe. Nearly 90% of catheter-related bloodstream infections are caused by central venous catheters (CVCs). Central venous catheters (CVC) are commonly inserted in critically ill patients and play an important role for hemodynamic monitoring and delivery of crucial treatments. Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a laboratory confirmed bloodstream infection occurring in a patient with a CVC in place for >48 hours that is not related to an infection at any other site. Preventing nosocomial infections pose a great challenge in ICU, because of the multi-drug resistant organisms treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Clinical practice guidelines from various organizations are available for prevention of vascular catheter related infections. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement has introduced a “central line bundle” that includes the five best evidence-based practices to prevent CLABSI. This bundle includes hand hygiene, maximal barrier precautions during catheter insertion, skin antisepsis with chlorhexidine, optimal selection of the catheter site, with avoidance of the femoral vein and a daily assessment of line necessity, including the removal of an unnecessary line. Of these components, “hand hygiene” (HH) is the most convenient and cost effective to follow. “Hand Hygiene” HH prevents the transmission of pathogens and is a universal strategy to prevent all nosocomial infections. The World Health Organization has proposed a multimodal strategy; which includes five elements called the “Five Moments for Hand Hygiene”, as an evidence-based approach to prevent hospital-acquired infections. The five moments include, before touching the patient, before performing any a clean/aseptic procedure, after exposure/risk of body fluid, after touching the patient and after touching the patient surroundings. Therefore, the researcher was curious to know the effectiveness of informative booklet regarding knowledge, attitude and practice of intensive care unit staff nurses regarding prevention of central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI).
