INFEKSI NOSOKOMIAL

Abstract

Health facilities play a crucial role in providing health services to the public and improving the quality of public health. Nosocomial infections are one of the main factors in increasing morbidity rates where these infections interfere with the patient's healing process and even create new health problems. The implementation of strict health protocols and effective infection control management is very important in maintaining patient safety against nosocomial infections. Nosocomial is an infection that arises in a patient while undergoing health services where he did not have the infection when he entered the health facility. Nosocomial infections can occur through various equipment and procedures carried out to care for and support the patient's healing process. The microorganisms that play a role in this are viruses, bacteria and fungi. Implementation in Infection Prevention and Control in hospitals and other health facilities plays a very crucial role, one of which is training, simulation and supervision of all staff regarding prevention and emphasis on hand washing habits according to WHO procedures.
