ObjectiveTo investigate on preoperative hand-washing for analyzing the underlying problems, in purpose of preventing operation-related infection via strengthening the standardization of surgical hand-washing and hand-disinfection. MethodsFrom July to September 2014, surveillance video of pre-operative hand-washing was studied and analyzed. We randomly selected 100 subjects, and assessment was performed based on the self-made surgical hand-washing and hand-disinfection protocol. Grading was done strictly. The passing score was 60 or higher; a score of 70-79 meant good; and a score of 80-100 indicated excellence. ResultsIn the survey, 91 in the 100 subjects were qualified. Among the qualified subjects, there were 53% of excellence and 20% of good. The major problems included erroneous methods, step omissions, time lacking, pollution, wrong flushing method or dry-hand method, and insufficient washing time. ConclusionBased on the survey, the administration department is advised to strengthen the regulatory supervision and education training based on standard surgical hand-washing and hand-disinfection criteria, especially training interns and new staff, in purpose of reducing the incidence of operation-related infection and improving hospitalization management qualities.
Medical quality and patient safety will be impacted by infection prevention and control directly. There will be many challenges on infection prevention and control, especially in large general hospitals. In the practice of infection prevention and control, the quality control work for infection prevention and control needs to establish a service concept, pay attention to the scientificity and precision of management. Multi-disciplinary team work and evidence-based medical study will also play an important role in infection prevention and control. Overall, quality management of infection prevention and control should be developed scientifically and normatively. Based on the practical experience of infection prevention and control, this article summarizes the experience of infection prevention and control management quality control in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, in order to provide a reference for the research and management practice of infection prevention and control management quality control strategies.
The implementation of the medical alliance has promoted the effective integration of medical resources in China. However, with the increase in the demand for rehabilitation medical care, the construction of rehabilitation medical alliance will provide a new strategy for the development of rehabilitation medicine. The rehabilitation medical alliance will promote the subsidence of high-quality rehabilitation resources, enhance the service capacity of grass-roots rehabilitation, and achieve the hierarchical rehabilitation diagnosis and treatment. The rehabilitation medical alliance combines four alliance models to construct a three-tier system, forming a three-level alliance of administration and classification. Regarding rehabilitation clinical pathway, rehabilitation evaluation system, rehabilitation treatment system and the homogenization guarantee of rehabilitation nursing as its main content, intelligent rehabilitation medicine alliance could be established by means of technical means such as artificial intelligence and big data cloud platform.

ObjectiveTo identify factors and strategies for the sustainability of evidence-based health promotion programs. MethodsThe articles related to program sustainability factors and strategies were retrieved from the CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, PubMed, and Web of Science database. The search period for English literature was from June 19, 2018, to December 3, 2024, while no start date was set for Chinese literature, the end date was the same. Three researchers independently screened studies based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and subsequently extracted the basic characteristics from the included studies. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify the sustainability factors and strategies from the included studies. ResultsA total of 65 articles were included in the scoping review. Through thematic analysis, 23 factors were identified and classified into six categories: program characteristics, organization characteristics, human resources, material resources, community resources and policy resources, along with 44 strategies grouped into six categories: programming strategies, collaborative strategies, capacity-building strategies, resource mobilization strategies, communication and dissemination strategies, and evaluative strategies. ConclusionThe sustainability factors and strategies identified in this study exhibit conceptual and structural alignment with existing frameworks and strategy sets in implementation science. Concurrently, by incorporating a full life-cycle perspective, this study delineates context-specific factors and strategies tailored to the unique requirements of sustaining programs over time, thereby contributing to a more nuanced understanding of program sustainability and offering practical guidance for strengthening the longevity of evidence-based health promotion programs.
