The issue of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) proves a significant challenge to the global healthcare community. Among these challenges, the Netherlands boasts one of the lowest rates of antimicrobial resistance across the world. This is in part due to prudent antibiotic use, and also a result of stringent infection prevention and control measures implemented in Dutch…
Taking crucial steps to prevent the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in long-term care settings, especially nursing homes, is vital to ensuring resident safety and combating antimicrobial resistance. The traditional use of contact precautions, though proven to be effective, poses hardships by confining residents to their rooms, affecting their quality of life negatively. Consequently, the…
This article underscores the findings of a research aimed at assessing the impact of an educational program for enhancing NICU nurses' comprehension and conduct towards multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). Adopting a quasi-experimental design, the study investigated the program's ability in shaping the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of mothers working as NICU nurses towards MDROs. The sample…
