Il existe des preuves de la transmission de micro-organismes entre les résidents et entre les résidents et les soignants. Nous n’avons trouvé aucune recommandation visant spécifiquement à la prévention des infections nosocomiales dans les établissements de santé publique par les principales agences de santé publique et, par conséquent, la Fondation des sciences de la santé (Fundación de Ciencias de la Salud) a convoqué une série d’experts et 14 sociétés scientifiques espagnoles pour discuter des recommandations qui pourraient guider le personnel des établissements de santé publique dans l’établissement de programmes écrits pour le contrôle et la réduction de ces infections.
Nursing homes (NH) conceptually should look as much like a home as possible. However NH have unquestionable similarities with a nosocomium as they are places where many patients with underlying diseases and comorbidities accumulate. There is evidence of transmission of microorganisms between residents and between residents and caregivers. We have not found any recommendations specifically aimed at the prevention of nosocomial infections in NH by the major Public Health Agencies and, therefore, the Health Sciences Foundation (Fundación de Ciencias de la Salud) has convened a series of experts and 14 Spanish scientific societies to discuss recommendations that could guide NH personnel in establishing written programs for the control and reduction of these infections. The present document is the result of these deliberations and contains suggestions for establishing such control programs on a voluntary and flexible basis in NH. We also hope that the document can help the health authorities to encourage this control activity in the different territorial areas of Spain. In our opinion, it is necessary to draw up a written plan and establish the figure of a coordinator or person responsible for implementing these projects. The document includes measures to be implemented and ways of quantifying the reality of different problems and of monitoring the impact of the measures established.
