Current Approaches on Nurse-Performed Interventions to Prevent Healthcare-Acquired Infections: An Umbrella Review
To analyze nursing interventions for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), major complications in acute care impacting length of stay, costs, morbidity, and mortality, an umbrella review was conducted between 1 February and 26 February 2024, following the Joanna Briggs Institute method...

| description | To analyze nursing interventions for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), major complications in acute care impacting length of stay, costs, morbidity, and mortality, an umbrella review was conducted between 1 February and 26 February 2024, following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA reporting guidelines, resulting in the inclusion of 22 articles. The 22 final articles obtained addressed the following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) categories: surgical site infections (e.g., skin antisepsis, antibiotic prophylaxis), catheter-related bloodstream infections (e.g., taurolidine lock solutions), ventilator-associated pneumonia (e.g., oral hygiene, semi-recumbent positioning), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (e.g., catheter duration management). Using Neuman’s holistic framework, the review emphasized patient–environment interactions. Further primary research is needed to refine these interventions and enhance interprofessional care. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024506801). |
