Perceptions of teamwork and knowledge-attitudes of Hemodialysis Unit nurses on infection prevention

Summary:

Introduction: The Nurses of Hemodialysis Units it’s necessary to face HAIs (Ηospital-ΑcquiredΙnfections) as a "well-tuned" teamwork.
Aim :The aim of this study was to investigate the perceptions of the teamwork as well as the knowledge-attitudes of the nurses of Hemodialysis Units on infection prevention in Greece.
Methodοlogy: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of 1018 HCWs (Health Care Workers) of Hemodialysis Units in Greece. The questionnaires used were: Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire (T-TPQ) TeamSTEPPS®-Instructor Manual and questionnaire APPENDIX A.
Results: The majority of them were nurses (69.45%) and nurse assistants (23.87%).About Teamwork Perceptions per factor, we observed uniformity in their responses with very high rates of agreement as the average values of the scores are particularly high 30 – 31 / 35. The attitudes of nurses of Hemodialysis Units on prevention infections were distinguished in particularly high rates (73,4%) of compliance with a high perception of the risk of transmission of infections with better compliance being that of women. Also, women seem to be more knowledgeable about diseases that mostly affect the pediatric population. More specifically for measles (59% vs 45.86%, p=0.006), mumps (51.04% vs 42.11%, p=0.062) and rubella (51.65% vs 39.10%, p =0.009) women had higher rates of correct patient-to-nurse transmission knowledge. It seemed that level of knowledge between the two sexes did not differ regarding HBV (63.16% vs 66.71%, p=0.430), HCV (63.91% vs 66.71%, p=0.553), HIV infection (78.95% vs 81.76%, p=0.471) and influenza (55.64% vs 59.61%, p=0.394).
Conclusions: This study highlighted for the first time the high level of perceptions of teamwork of the nurses of the Hemodialysis Units in Greece. It is recommended to investigate the correct application of prevention measures and to detect the causes of deviation from good practices with subsequent investigations on Hemodialysis Units of Greece.
