Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the status and risk factors for the carriage of multidrug-resistant organisms carriage in home health nursing patients.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 122 participants who received home health nursing and analyzed the data obtained from chart review and diagnostic tests for multidrug-resistant organisms carriage from January 2019 to January 2021.
Results: Multivariate analysis revealed that surgical procedures in the preceding year, injectable antibiotic use in the preceding month, pressure ulcer, and indwelling nasal tubes were significantly associated with multi-drug resistant infection.
Conclusions: Infection-control strategies need to be developed and customized for use in the home health-nursing service for patients who are carriers of multidrug-resistant organisms.
