Factors that can reduce the spread of MRSA in healthcare staffs nursing work : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Ett av de största globala hoten idag är multiresistenta bakterier, alltså bakterier som är resistenta mot antibiotika. När en patient blir smittad av MRSA- bakterien räknas det som en vårdskada då patienten har smittats inom vården. En smittspridning av MRSA-bakterier kan leda till allvarliga konsekvenser för patienternas hälsa. Ju mer MRSA-bakterier sprids desto svårare blir det att bota bakterieinfektioner med hjälp av antibiotika som är vanligt inom vården. Trots att det finns riktlinjer kring hur spridningen av MRSA ska förebyggas är det fortfarande ett stort problem inom sjukvården idag.

Syfte: Syftet var att belysa faktorer som kan minska smittspridning av MRSA i vårdpersonalens omvårdnadsarbete.

Metod: Detta arbete har utförts genom att använda en litteraturöversikt med både kvalitativa och kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar.

Resultat: Faktorer som minskar smittspridningen av MRSA inom vården är ytterligare utbildning av omvårdnadspersonal angående ämnet, en förbättring av vårdhygienrutiner, gott samarbete och kommunikation mellan personal och individuellt ansvar bland vårdpersonal. 

Slutsats: Aktuella riktlinjer är inte tillräckliga för att undvika spridningen av MRSA inom vården. En minskad spridning av MRSA är möjlig om omvårdnadspersonal utbildas om ämnet, om det sker en förbättring i hygienrutiner och om personalen har ett gott samarbete med varandra och tar personligt ansvar.

Abstract [en]

Backgraound: One of the biggest global threats today is multi-resistant bacteria, thatis bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. When a patient becomes infected with the MRSA bacterium, it counts as a healthcare injury as the patient has been infected in healthcare. A spread of MRSA bacteria can lead to serious consequences for patients' health. The more MRSA bacteria spread, the more difficult it becomes to cure bacterial infections with the help of antibiotics that are common in healthcare. Although there are guidelines on how to prevent the spread of MRSA, it is still a major problem in healthcare today.

Aim: The aim was to highlight which factors reduce the spread of MRSA in the nursing staff's nursing work.

Method: This work has been carried out using a literature review with both qualitative and quantitative scientific articles.

Results: Factors that reduce the spread of MRSA in healthcare are further training of healthcare staff regarding the subject, an improvement of healthcare hygiene routines, good cooperation and communication between healthcare staff and individual responsibility among them. 

Conclusion: Current guidelines are not sufficient to avoid the spread of MRSA in healthcare. A reduced spread of MRSA is possible if nursing staff are trained on the subject, if there is an improvement in hygiene routines and if the staff have a good collaboration with each other and take personal responsibility.
