Why you chose this article and/or how it relates to the clinical issue of interest (include a brief explanation of the ethics of research related to your clinical issue of interest) This article was picked because it highlights the association between nursing home employee turnover and the number and severity of infection control citations.
This article was chosen because it suggests that there is an urgent need to analyze these architectural design models and present alternative and holistic models that balance infection control and quality of life at many spatial scales in existing and proposed environments. This article was chosen because it outlines the correlation between nursing homes and infection control programs. It is a national study into the infection control programs put in place by nursing homes to prevent the elderly who live in them from getting infected This article is a result of the data collected in a national study of infection control programs in nursing homes. It shows the results collected and what they mean. Week 7
Brief description of the aims of the research of each peer-reviewed article While controlling for nursing facility fixed variables, researchers calculated the relationship between nurse turnover and the likelihood of an infection control citation, and the extent of the citation. This study contends that there is convergence on many fronts between these challenges and that particular design models and techniques that improve quality of life would also benefit infection control, encourage higher resilience, and, as a result, improve overall pandemic preparedness. The objectives of this study were to provide a baseline assessment of nursing home facilities and infection control programs characteristics and associations between training of Infection Programs and the existence of antibiotic stewardship policies. This study aimed to (1) provide a national perspective on the current state of nursing home (NH) infection prevention and control (IPC) programs and (2) look for differences in IPC program characteristics between NHs that had and did not have an infection control deficiency citation.
Brief description of the research methodology used Be sure to identify if the methodology used was qualitative, quantitative, or a mixed-methods approach. Be specific. The researchers matched 650 million shifts from the PBJ data to nursing facility standard inspection surveys. They also rejected any nursing home with insufficient or no staffing data. The final analytic sample consisted of 12,550 nursing facilities and 30,536 surveys. Week 7
The researchers for this article took on a mixed-method approach to collect their data.
The researchers used questionnaires and statistical data to be able to collect data for this research. The researchers used a mixed-method approach to complete the research. The researchers of this article took a mixed-method approach. Between December 2013 and December 2014, a survey of randomly selected US NHs was performed to describe NH infection control programs. The survey was sent to the person in charge of the infection control program. Respondents were asked if they had any specific infection control training and/or certification; other infection program characteristics assessed included the frequency of infection control committee meetings (weekly/monthly, quarterly, and annually/not regularly) and participation in an infection control collaborative. Means, standard deviations, and percentages were computed as descriptive statistics. This article is a result of a study that was conducted using a mixed-method approach. A national cross-sectional survey of randomly selected NHs was conducted, and the results were connected to data from Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting (CASPER) and NH Compare. The study included 34 questions about respondent demographics, IPC program staffing, workforce stability, resources and problems, and resident care and employee practices. CASPER and NH Compare data were used to examine facility features and infection control deficiency citations. Week 7
A brief description of the strengths of each of the research methodologies used, including reliability and validity of how the methodology was applied in each of the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
The strength of the article is that it recognizes that turnover was connected with a higher risk of receiving an infection control citation. Staff turnover should be considered a major contributor to the development of illnesses in nursing homes. Although the researchers acknowledge that financial considerations in the context of retrofitting existing facilities as well as new construction are an important aspect of the necessary improvements in nursing home life, monetary analysis is outside the scope of this research. Although the cost-effectiveness of applying evidence-based design solutions in the acute care context has been extensively proven, further research in the field of nursing home design and health outcomes is required. Despite the fact that several statewide surveys on the use of antibiotic stewardship policies in Nursing Homes have been conducted, this is the first study to assess these policies on a national level, as well as the first to examine associations between the presence of these policies and the presence of a trained infection Program in a Nursing Home. The findings show that one major area for development is a shortage of well-educated infection prevention workers. Furthermore, specific evidence-based approaches to reduce infection risk in NHs are required.
