A Review on the Prevention of Infection for Hospitalized Neonates

Marta Dramowski

The most predominant infections encountered in neonatal care are healthcare-associated diseases. The majority of healthcare-associated infections are considered preventable with evidence-based disease prevention and control (IPC) practices. However, considerable information gaps exist in IPC execution in neonatal care. Besides, the knowledge of factors which facilitate or challenge the uptake and sustainment of IPC programmes in neonatal units is limited. The integration of implementation science approaches in IPC programmes in neonatal care aims to address these problems. The Consolidated System for Implementation Research was utilized to distinguish and cluster reported determinants to the implementation of IPC hones and programs in neonatal care. Most studies detailed challenges and facilitators at the organizational level as especially relevant to usage forms. The commonly reported determinants included staffing levels, work- and caseloads, as well as aspects of organizational culture such as communication and authority.
