Brief Summary:
Following guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control the Clinical Center implemented a Universal Precautions policy in November 1987 in an attempt to reduce healthcare workers risks for occupational exposures to bloodborne pathogens All hospital personnel whose jobs entailed potential exposure to patients blood and body substances were required to attend a training session and complete a written examination Based on data from surveys conducted before and twelve months after training in Universal Precautions the frequency of cutaneous exposure to blood decreased by 50 in temporal association with implementation of Universal Precautions Staff at the Clinical Center are required to take a refresher course in Universal Precautions annually
The prevalence of bloodborne infections is high in Japan however Universal Precautions are not widely practiced in Japan This study is designed 1 to evaluate and compare nurses knowledge of the epidemiology pathogenesis occupational risks and appropriate prevention strategies for managing patients infected with bloodborne pathogens in the healthcare setting in seven university hospitals in Japan and at the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health in the US 2 to compare self-reported levels of compliance with existing infection control recommendations designed to limit risk for exposure to bloodborne pathogens in all four institutions 3 to compare self-reported frequencies of cutaneous exposures to blood at the four hospitals in the study and 4 to evaluate the effect of educational intervention on nurses perceived compliance with recommendations and on the frequency of self-reported exposures to blood
