dc.description.abstractBackground: Infectious events, often related to healthcare practice, occur frequently within Nursing Homes (NHs), representing one of the main causes for morbidity, hospital admissions and mortality. The aims of this study are the analysis of care delivery problems and contributory factors of healthcare-related infections in a sample of NHs. This research could help identify organizational, technological and behavioural aspects, to implement improvement actions and reduce the impact of infections in long-term care. Methods: The study is a qualitative research with a systemic approach, based on the analysis of interactions in real practice between human factors, technologies and organizational structure and processes in 7 NHs in Tuscany (Italy), through extensive and structured observations of daily practices. The collected data were analyzed by applying clinical and ergonomic competences, comparing the data collected with established safe practices. The study was conducted by a nurse and a psychologist Results: From the data several problems related to infection control emerge. Buildings are often not suitable for confined spaces, room ventilation, natural light and rapid emergency response. Hand washing is not sufficient, use of antibiotics is usually not adequate. The microclimate is often not adequate, hygienic procedures are not always flawless. Staff members are in small numbers. Discussions: This study highlights high risk of contracting infections related to NHs. The study shows that dedicated infection prevention guidance are needed, to develop a local plan integrated with hospital setting, customized to needs of guests and characteristics of long-term care facilities, supported by a deep understanding of daily practices.en
