AI Article Synopsis
- Hematology nurses in hospitals are essential for preventing infections in patients but often do not follow standard precautions, prompting a study in Chongqing to identify compliance levels and influencing factors.
- The study surveyed 702 nurses, revealing that 42.1% showed low compliance while 56.9% demonstrated high compliance with standard precautions.
- Key factors affecting compliance included recruitment methods, training participation, organizational support, and job burnout, indicating that targeted interventions could improve adherence to safety protocols among nurses.
Article Abstract
Background: Standard precautions (SP) are an important method for preventing and controlling hospital infections. However, the level of compliance with standard precautions in haematology nurses is not high. This study identified various types of hematological nurses in Chongqing and the factors that influence their compliance with SP.
Methods: Hematology nurses from 33 Chongqing central hospitals were chosen as study participants for a cross-sectional survey in November 2022. Latent class, univariate and logistic regression were used to analyze nurses' SP compliance and its influencing factors.
Results: With a 98% response rate, we gathered 702 valid surveys in total. The compliance with nurses' SP was classified into 2 latent classes: low (42.1%) and high (56.9%). The results of binary logistic regression analysis revealed that recruitment methods, participation in standard preventive knowledge training, organizational support, depersonalization, and personal achievement were the main factors influencing compliance with nurses' SP (P < .05).
Conclusions: Hematology nurses demonstrated modest compliance with SP, with some variation. Nursing management should monitor the compliance characteristics of various nurses' SP, adopt targeted intervention strategies, and improve SP compliance.

Purpose: The absence of evidence based general guidelines for radiographic follow-ups of pediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures treated with ESIN results in an arbitrary array of X-ray examinations. In most pediatric traumatology departments, an X-ray check is carried out 4 weeks after ESIN osteosynthesis of forearm shaft fractures to detect incipient consolidation of the fracture. However, the elevated sensitivity to ionizing radiation requires special precautions in the pediatric populations.

Bag technique is a component of the standard precautions implemented in home care and an essential practice that applies to all patients receiving in-home care, regardless of their suspected or confirmed infectious state.
