Determining the need for additional training among hospital infection-control workforce – results from a multicentric survey within the multiresistance network of southern Lower Saxony (MRNS), Germany
Infection-control nurses (ICN) and infection-control link physicians (ICLP) are both responsible for infection prevention practices in hospitals. However, their topic-specific education levels and extent of engagement in infection-control issues are diverse, creating potential needs for additional t...

description | Infection-control nurses (ICN) and infection-control link physicians (ICLP) are both responsible for infection prevention practices in hospitals. However, their topic-specific education levels and extent of engagement in infection-control issues are diverse, creating potential needs for additional training. We aimed at determining the potential need for additional training in infection-control among ICN, ICLP and medical Chief Executive Officers (CEO) in hospitals of the Multiresistance Network of southern Lower Saxony (MRNS), via structured surveys (n=48; 55.1%). Our data suggest that the majority of ICN as well as ICLP have unmet needs for consultation and training on the topics of hospital hygiene and infection control. We observed a higher need for advice/additional information among ICLP than among ICN, e.g., concerning outbreaks (p=0.032), multidrug resistance (p=0.005) or antimicrobial stewardship (p=0.020). Therefore, future training programs might require targeting workforce-specific topics as part of their curricula. Furthermore, the improvement of the knowledge of ICN and ICLP for the implementation of infection control could contribute to improved prevention of the transmission of infectious diseases. |
