Cell phones as sources of pathogens and their risk in hospital-acquired infections in the intensive care unit“ “Cell phones as sources of pathogens and their risk in hospital-acquired infections in the intensive care unit
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-01-09) Gonzalez Janampa, Marizol Modesta; Vélez Lamela, Rosario del Pilar; Avila Vargas Machuca, Jeannette Giselle
Cell phones are frequently used by healthcare workers during working hours and are not properly disinfected. Cell phones are susceptible to contamination by bacterial pathogens and could be involved in nosocomial transmission. Cell phones are perfect for functioning as reservoirs of nosocomial pathogens due to their wide use in healthcare units and the lack of disinfection care. This is why we conducted this research to determine whether cell phones constitute a reservoir of nosocomial pathogens and could potentially constitute a fomite for these pathogens in a hospital environment. Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli have been reported to remain viable for long periods and are an important source of infection. One of the measures to avoid hospital infections is also to strictly apply the usual measures such as hand washing and asepsis when handling cell phones, since the frequency of disinfection of cell phones is scarce since most people do not disinfect their cell phones.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-03-11) La Rosa Racacha, Marilyn Raquel; Enciso Lacunza, Jorge Antonio
La presente investigación tiene como título “Comportamiento de los alumnos de odontología en relación al control de infecciones cruzadas, Lima – 2024” cuyo objetivo fue determinar el nivel de comportamiento de los alumnos de odontología sobre control de infecciones cruzadas en el 2024”. Metodología usada fue hipotético deductivo, enfoque cuantitativo, tipo básico, descriptivo- transversal, observacional. Cuya muestra 132 estudiantes matriculados en el II semestre del 2024. A quienes se les aplico una encuesta debidamente estructurada, validados y confiables por Silva J., Oscar R. (2018) en su tesis “Evaluación del nivel de conocimiento, actitudes y prácticas respecto a medidas de control de infecciones en estudiantes de pregrado de estomatología de la UPSJB durante el 2017”, está constituido por 15 ítems con preguntas y respuestas cerradas; cuyo grado de confiabilidad fue aceptable, dado por el Alpha de Cronbach (0.70) y la validez (Juicio de expertos). Resultados: el nivel de comportamiento de los estudiantes de odontología de la Clínica Odontológica de la Universidad Norbert Wiener está significativamente relacionado con el control de infecciones cruzadas. Esto se evidenció con un nivel de significancia de p=0.001<0.05p = 0.001 < 0.05, lo que llevó al rechazo de la hipótesis nula (Ho) y la aceptación de la hipótesis alterna (Hi). Por tanto, se concluye que el predominio de un nivel alto de comportamiento (78.8%) contribuye al buen control de infecciones cruzadas observado en el 90.2% de los estudiantes.

Conocimientos y prácticas de enfermería sobre el catéter venoso central percutáneo en el recién nacido en la unidad de cuidados intermedios en un hospital público, 2024
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-09-29) Sanchez Alfaro, Ruddy Christie; Benavides Silva de Sender, Erika María del Carmen
Introducción: La inserción del catéter percutáneo, tanto para la terapia intravenosa prolongada como para la administración parenteral total (NPT) de antibióticos y líquidos, enfrenta desafíos relacionados con complicaciones mecánicas e infecciosas que pueden requerir su retirada. Este análisis alimenta la discusión crítica sobre la importancia de que el personal de enfermería asegure un acceso venoso seguro y efectivo en la práctica clínica. Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de relación entre los conocimientos y las prácticas de enfermería sobre el cuidado del catéter percutáneo en la Unidad de Cuidados Intermedios, Lima – 2024. Métodos: La presente investigación adopta un enfoque de diseño correlacional, implementando instrumentos rigurosamente validados y confiables, denominados guías de procedimientos de enfermería. En consonancia con la resolución n° 473-2016- hch/06ie, su objetivo central radica en examinar la posible incidencia de factores de riesgos asociados a la enfermería en la inserción o en los cuidados subsiguientes de catéteres venosos centrales periféricos (PICC). Los autores de cada instrumento realizaron una aplicación meticulosa de la confiabilidad, evidenciada por un coeficiente de concordancia de Richardson (k) de 0.759 para el conocimiento y un coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de 0.793. Estos valores robustos indican una fiabilidad notable en ambos instrumentos, respaldando así su validez para la investigación en cuestión.

Differentiation of Candida albicans from Candida dubliniensis in tobacco agar, prepared with tobacco from three cigar brands
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-09-28) Abanto Castillo, Johan Alexander; Valverde Ticlia, Fanny Noemí; Rojas León, Roberto Eugenio
The objective was to describe the differentiation of Candida albicans from Candida dubliniensis on tobacco agar, prepared with tobacco from three cigarette brands. This observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out with two strains of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis, isolated and confirmed by the Microbiology Service of the National Institute of Child Health - Breña. These strains were then plated on tobacco agar prepared with tobacco from three cigarette brands (Hamilton, Premier, and Pallmall) and incubated for 96 hours at 28°C in the microbiology service of the Huaycan hospital. Macroscopic and microscopic differences between Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis were observed 72 hours after incubation, achieving the expected research objectives. This allowed for the description of the specific differences between Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis through tobacco agar, giving a good specificity of approximately 100%, as described by some authors.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-08-04) Ruelas Elias, Anny Yadira; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
Objective: To analyze the evidence on effective interventions in the prevention of infection in patients with urinary catheterization Materials and methods: the type of study was quantitative and the study design was a systematic review, the population consisted of 30 studies and the sample was 10 articles, this review was found in the following databases Medline, PubMed, Elsevier, Scielo. and BVS. where the GRADE system was used, which identifies the quality of the evidence and the recommended strength. Results: it was obtained that: the use of reminders is effective, as are standardized protocols, the bundles that are nursing interventions already established, supervision by the nurse, hand washing to reduce bacteria and the use of the antimicrobial catheter. On the other hand, the quality gaps in the documentation of the use of different urinary catheters with the results of the urine are not effective. Conclusions: 90% (n = 9/10) of the 10 articles reviewed showed that the effective interventions for the prevention of infection in patients with urinary catheterization were: the use of reminders, standardized protocols, the bundles, continuous nursing supervision, hand washing and also the use of antimicrobial catheters with silver alloy. However, 10% (n=1/10) of the reviewed articles also showed that the quality gaps in the documentation of the use of different urinary catheters are not effective with the results of the urine, since there is no concordance in both.
