The Role of Nurses and Sterilization in Healthcare: A Theoretical Approach to Infection Prevention Strategies
Abstract
Keeping patients safe and lowering the likelihood of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are two of the most important goals of infection prevention, which is an essential component of healthcare systems. The purpose of this theoretical study is to investigate the ways in which nurses and sterilization specialists provide complementary responsibilities to infection control measures. In this work, the authors draw on past research to emphasize the importance of adherence to hygiene practices by nurses, as well as the essential role that sterilization plays in reducing the spread of pathogens. Despite the fact that there is widespread agreement regarding the significance of these jobs, difficulties such as noncompliance, resource constraints, and operational inefficiencies continue to be widespread situations. In order to maximize the effectiveness of infection prevention strategies, the findings highlight the importance of fostering collaboration between nursing and sterilization teams, enhancing training, and making systemic improvements. The findings of this study contribute to a more in-depth knowledge of the ways in which theoretical frameworks might direct integrated approaches to infection control in facilities that provide medical treatment (Kammoun et al., 2021).
