Determinants of the organization of diabetes mellitus care in user satisfaction
The objective of the study was analyze user satisfaction determinants of patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) regarding the outpatient clinic specialties at the Health Centre of the School. Qualitative cross-sectional study was carried out in outpatient specialty with 20 users with diagnosis of DM. We adopted the method of semi-structured interview using a scripting guide. We used Atlas it software 7.0 to aid in the decoding of speech, and analyzed it by content analysis. The empirical material encoded enabled to observe that the most evident themes are related to organizational accessibility and the relationship between user and service staff in perspective of longitudinality. It was observed the outpatient identifying clinic specialties as a regular source of care and dissatisfaction with regard to service accessibility.O objetivo do estudo foi analisar os determinantes da satisfação do usuário com Diabetes Mellitus (DM) sobre o atendimento no ambulatório de especialidades de um Centro de Saúde Escola. O estudo transversal com abordagem qualitativa foi desenvolvido no ambulatório de especialidades com 20 usuários com diagnóstico de DM. Foram aplicadas entrevistas semiestruturadas por meio de um roteiro norteador. Utilizou-se software Atlas ti 7.0 para auxílio na codificação das falas e técnica de Análise de Conteúdo para análise dos dados. Como resultado, observou-se que os temas mais evidenciados estão relacionados à acessibilidade organizacional e à relação entre usuário, equipe e serviço na perspectiva da longitudinalidade. Observou-se a identificação do ambulatório de especialidade como fonte regular de cuidado e a insatisfação no que se refere à acessibilidade ao serviço.
International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortiu (INICC) report, data summary of 43 countries for 2007-2012. Device-associated module
We report the results of an International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2007-December 2012 in 503 intensive care units (ICUs) in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. During the 6-year study using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) U.S. National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care–associated infection (DA-HAI), we collected prospective data from 605,310 patients hospitalized in the INICC's ICUs for an aggregate of 3,338,396 days. Although device utilization in the INICC's ICUs was similar to that reported from ICUs in the U.S. in the CDC's NHSN, rates of device-associated nosocomial infection were higher in the ICUs of the INICC hospitals: the pooled rate of central line–associated bloodstream infection in the INICC's ICUs, 4.9 per 1,000 central line days, is nearly 5-fold higher than the 0.9 per 1,000 central line days reported from comparable U.S. ICUs. The overall rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia was also higher (16.8 vs 1.1 per 1,000 ventilator days) as was the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (5.5 vs 1.3 per 1,000 catheter days). Frequencies of resistance of Pseudomonas isolates to amikacin (42.8% vs 10%) and imipenem (42.4% vs 26.1%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates to ceftazidime (71.2% vs 28.8%) and imipenem (19.6% vs 12.8%) were also higher in the INICC's ICUs compared with the ICUs of the CDC's NHSN
