Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) on hospital infection prevention for gynecological malignant tumor. Methods From January 2017 to December 2018, we selected 25 nurses and clinical staff of Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Union Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology as subjects by cluster sampling. And then, the gynecology hospital infection control group was built. Group members assessed the department's risk of hospital infection by FMEA and put forward improvements for the high risk factors. We compared the risk priority number (RPN) of gynecological malignant tumor patients, catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) and incidence of hospital infection before and after implementing FMEA. Results After implementing FMEA, the total score of RPN risk factors of gynecological malignant tumor patients decreased compared with those before implementation with statistical differences (P 0.05) . Conclusions FMEA has good application effects on hospital infection prevention for gynecological malignant tumor patients which can effectively reflect the weak link of hospital infection management to reduce the incidence of hospital infection of gynecological malignant tumor patients. Key words: Gynecology; Neoplasms; Hospital infection; Failure mode and effects analysis
