Effect of contact precautions for MRSA on patient satisfaction scores.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contact precautions may have an adverse effect on a patient's hospital experience and the delivery of care. This case-control study compared patient satisfaction scores between 70 patients isolated for MRSA and 139 non-isolated patients. Based on an adjusted analysis, there was no difference in patient satisfaction between the two groups. Age and educational status were found to affect patient satisfaction.

متن کاملSearch, Destroy, and Confirm: How to Maximize the Benefit and Reduce the Unintended Consequences of Contact Precautions for Control of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections despite longstanding efforts to limit transmission in acute care facilities. Although the burden of community-acquired MRSA continues to increase, up to 85% of MRSA infections are associated with healthcare settings, and MRSA infections result in an estimated quarter-million hospitaliz...
متن کاملImpact of contact precautions on falls, pressure ulcers and transmission of MRSA and VRE in hospitalized patients.
BACKGROUND Hospitals use contact precautions to prevent the spread of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). There is concern that contact precautions may have adverse effects on the safety of isolated patients. In November 2010, the infection control policy at an academic medical centre was modified, and contact precautions were discontinu...

BACKGROUND Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of behavior-based interventions are particularly vulnerable to post-randomization changes between study arms. We assess the impact of such a change in a large, multicenter study of universal contact precautions to prevent infection transmission in intensive care units. METHODS We construct a stochastic mathematical model of methicillin-resistant ...
