Swedish situation - facilitators and barriers for guidelines concerning infection control and AMR Birgitta Lytsy, MD, PhD Departmen of Clinical Microbiology and Infection Control Uppsala University Hospital
Sweden 10 university hospitals 80 regional hospitals Regions and counties Municipalities Majority of hospitals is public and funded by taxes
What are the facilitators?
Good surveillance of HAI-Health-care associated infections Antibiotic presciption Antibiotic resistance

Guidelines in place HAI-Health-care associated infections Antibiotic presciption
Medical Protection Agency Care programmes to control prescription and AMR Examples: Antibiotic prophylaxis dental care Antibiotic use pregnancy Tonsillitis, mediaotitis children Pneumonia Urinary tract infection women and men STI
SE: Regulation on Basic hygiene 2007 All staff shall during examination, care and treatment or other direct contact with patients observe this regulation Includes: Dresscode Handhygiene Gloves Apron
Hands Alcohol-based disinfectant Before and after tending to a patient
Access to disinfectants everywhere
Uniform code Short sleeves No rings No wristwatches No bracelets Makes proper desinfection of hands possible
All cathegories of staff clothes gets contaminated change every day
Gowns or aprons for close contacts With bed and patients
Gloves only when risk of touching secretions, excretions risk and contaminated and dirty equipment
Alerts patients visitors staff
What are the barriers?
Gap There is a gap between what we DO and what we KNOW Some existing knowledge is not applied sufficiently 3 2016-
The traditional approaches
Overcorowded hospitals
UUH Uppsala University Hospital All wards have 2-3 extra beds Staff is not dimensioned to care for them but have to In corridors, treatment rooms, storage rooms and showers
Consequences 1 pat could be moved within and between wards up to 6 times during a few days stay due to overcrowding Risk of transmission of pathogens and resistant bacteria between patients Nurses flee the hospitals

Compliance to hand hygiene decreases due to tiredness Dai, H et al J Appl Psychol 2015; 100:846-62 Compliance hand hygiene decreases over time from 40,2 ->34,8% after 12 hours work (p < 0,0001)
Risk tiredness Every 1 % decrease in compliance to hand hygiene increases the risk of HAI by 3,9/1000 pat Pittet, D Lancet 2000; 356:1307-1312
Swedish situation 2015 Summary Excellent surveillance Less actions and interventions Health-care system is overcrowded and understaffed
