Primary caregiver, agent transmitting infections associated to health care: literature review

Introduction: Infections associated to health care represent a public health problem, increase costs in medical care, morbidity and mortality. Humans are already identified as risk factors; however, “the caregiver” has scarcely been studied, and he can be a reservoir and transmitter of one or severa...

description Introduction: Infections associated to health care represent a public health problem, increase costs in medical care, morbidity and mortality. Humans are already identified as risk factors; however, “the caregiver” has scarcely been studied, and he can be a reservoir and transmitter of one or several infections. Objective: investigate into the current scientific evidence related to common infections, risk factors, knowledge, practice, and aptitude of the caregiver and his relationship with the infections associated to health care. Methodology: Systematic review of literature carried out based on electronic data, namely, Pub-Med, BVS, Trip Database, Science Direct, Ebsco Host, and Google Scholar. Documents published from 2013 to 2018, in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, were assessed; the terms MESH and DeCs, “nosocomial infection”, “epidemiology”, “caregivers”, and “patient care” were used. A PICO question was raised, the studies selected included meta-analysis, randomized and controlled clinical trials, systematic revisions, and qualitative studies. Exclusion criteria were comprised by studies that included caregivers at home and in intensive care units, both for adults and children. Results and conclusions: 419 articles were obtained; 15 of them met the inclusion criteria, which showed the type of infections that are most common, as well as risk factors, knowledge, practices, and aptitudes of the caregivers in the prevention of IAAS (health-care associated infections) (by its acronym in Spanish), concluding that there is little scientific evidence, and deficiencies in knowledge, programs, and interventions addressed to the caregiver to prevent IAAS.

Introducción: Las Infecciones Asociadas a la Atención en Salud representan un problema de salud pública, aumentan los costos en la atención médica, la morbilidad y mortalidad, existen factores de riesgo ya identificados, entre ellos los humanos, sin embargo “el cuidador” se ha estudiado poco, siendo este un reservorio que pudiera ser el principal agente transmisor de una o varias infecciones. Objetivo: indagar en la evidencia científica actual relacionada a infecciones comunes, factores de riesgo, los conocimientos, prácticas y aptitudes del cuidador y su relación con las Infecciones Asociadas a la Atención en Salud. Metodología: Revisión sistemática de la literatura, realizada en base de datos electrónicas: PubMed, BVS, Trip Database, Science Direct, Ebsco Host y Google académico; se analizaron documentos publicados de 2013 a 2018, en idioma inglés, portugués y español, se usaron los términos MESH y DeCs “infección nosocomial”, “epidemiología”, “cuidadores” y “atención al paciente”, se plantea una pregunta PICO, los estudios seleccionados incluyeron metaanálisis, ensayos clínicos controlados aleatorios, revisiones sistemáticas y estudios cualitativos, los criterios de exclusión fueron estudios con cuidadores en domicilios y en unidades de cuidados intensivos adultos y pediátricos. Resultados y conclusiones: se obtuvieron 419 artículos, 15 que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión los cuales muestran los tipos de infecciones más comunes, factores de riesgo, conocimientos, prácticas y aptitudes del cuidador en la prevención de IAAS, concluyendo que existe poca evidencia científica, deficiencias del conocimiento, programas e intervenciones dirigidas al cuidador para la prevención de las IAAS. Introdução: As infecções associadas aos cuidados de saúde representam um problema de saúde pública, aumentam os custos com cuidados médicos, morbidade e mortalidade. Os seres humanos já estão identificados como fatores e risco; no entanto, “o cuidador” mal foi estudado, e ele pode ser um reservatório e transmissor de uma ou várias infecções. Objetivo: investigar as evidências científicas atuais relacionadas a infecções comuns, fatores de risco, conhecimento, prática e aptidão do cuidador e sua relação com infecções associadas à assistência á saúde. Métodos: Revisão sistemática da literatura realizada com base em dados electrônicos, nomeadamente, PubMed, BVS, Trip Database, Science Direct, Ebsco Host, e Google Scholar. Os documentos publicados de 2013 a 2018, em inglês, português e espanhol, foram avaliados; foram utilizados os termos MESH e DeCs, “infecção hospital”, “epidemiologia”, “cuidadores”, e “assistência ao paciente”. Uma questão do PICO foi levantada, os estudos selecionados incluíram metanálise, ensaios clínicos randomizados e controlados, revisões sistemáticas e estudos qualitativos. Os critérios de exclusão foram compostos por estudos que incluíram cuidadores em casa e em unidades de terapia intensiva, tanto para adultos quanto para crianças. Resultados e Conclusões: Foram obtidos 419 artigos; 15 deles atenderam aos critérios de inclusão, que mostrou o tipo de infecções mais comuns, bem como fatores de risco, conhecimentos, práticas e aptidõe dos cuidadores na prevenção do IAAS (infecções associadas a cuidados de saúde) (por sua sigla em espanhol), concluindo que há pouca evidencia científica, e deficiências no conhecimento, programas e intervenções dirigidas ao cuidador para prevenir o IAAS.
