A Social-Ecological Perspective on Nosocomial Infection Control in Developing Countries: Exploring the Role of International NGOs

机译:发展中国家医院感染控制的社会生态学视角:探讨国际非政府组织的作用

摘要

Nosocomial, or hospital-acquired, infection is a serious global public health issue that causes the suffering of 1.4 million people at any given time. This thesis uses the social-ecological model to frame the problem of nosocomial infection control in developing countries, and proposes roles for international non-governmental organizations in developing country settings. Using the social-ecological model reveals nosocomial infection control issues at the individual, hospital, and national policy and infrastructure levels. Interviews were conducted with four organizations: two international non-governmental organizations, the Pan American Health Organization, and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Infection Control Office. Two case studies are presented from Honduras, showing how the two international non-governmental organizations approached the infection control issue in two public hospitals in that country. Recommendations are given for possible intervention points in developing countries.
