Description
Salah Alshagrawi and Norah Alhodaithy study infection risk among hospital staff in intensive care in this 2024 paper. Infections gained in health care are a major global threat, and intensive care units carry high risk. The team surveyed staff in seven large public hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Six hundred staff took part in an online survey in November 2023, with nurses making up half the sample. Most reported good knowledge of infection control, and most had applied training in it. Staff with better knowledge and applied training had lower odds of past infection exposure. More years of clinical work, by contrast, were tied to higher risk. The authors stress training that is applied, not just taught.
