Abstract

The quasi-experimental research (one group pretest - posttest design) was to study effect of prevention of infection reinforcement among operation personnel on incidence of surgical site infection in caesarean section, Kumphawapi hospital. The sample consisted of 14 operation personnels were obstetricians and professional nurses. The research instruments included a demographic data questionnaire, a SSI surveillance form, a reinforcement plan, a SSI knowledge test and a practice observation SSI form. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Paired t-test, Risk difference and Risk ratio.

The results revealed that after operation personnel received prevention of infection reinforcement, the incidence of SSI in caesarean section equal were 0.00 per 100 operations, risk difference was 0.00 per 100 operations, and risk ratio was 0.00 (95% CI: 0.00). After received prevention of infection reinforcement, the median of knowledge score among the experimental group significantly increased from 12.64 to 13.71 at level of .05. And the samples had correct behavior of infection reinforcement pre-post prevention were 100.00%.

The results indicate that before and after the prevention of infection reinforcement among operation personnel on incidence of surgical site infection while behavior of infection reinforcement between pre-post prevention were not different, so that SSIin caesarean section were not different. Operation personnel should to practice for prevention of surgical site infection on operative standard of nursing care. Therefore, prevention of SSI reinforcement among healthcare personnel should be used continuously.
