Opis

Nurses are dangerously exposed to a variety of occupational hazards on daily basis. Many studies showed that third world countries have registered very high incidences of needle-sick and sharps injury, and other blood-borne diseases (hepatitis B, C and HIV/Aids) mainly due to improper handling, use, and methods of disposal of sharps among nurses being the frontline providers of health care. Inadequate waste disposal systems extend the problem beyond health personnel to cleaners, laundry personnel, porters, rag pickers and the general community. There is limited research specific to community nurses infection control. Therefore, the aim of this book is to examine the impact of a blood-borne prevention program on compliance with infection control standard precautions among nurses in family health centers, Egypt. I Hope that this book will help researchers in similar studies adding to nursing body of knowledge and clinical nurses and students in community- based settings. I dedicate this book to all who helped me finishing and publishing it; my disertation supervisors, my family, nurses and LAP publishing company. Ebtesam Moawad El-sayed
