Les facteurs liés aux patients hospitalisés favorisant l'infection nosocomiale [ The factors related to the patients hospitalized favoured nosocomial infections ]

This study aims to explore the factors inducing the nosocomial infections (IN) concerning the patients at the Hospital El Idrissi of Kenitra using a methodology based on a survey including questionnaires addressed to patients hospitalized in the various departments and units care among a sample of 250 participants. The main results of this study revealed that 54% of surveyed patients not attending school; 61% of patients are from rural rather than from; 54% of participants claim that they use self-medication of antibiotics; given that 70% of patients admitted to use personal objects and materials of another patient; while 66% of patients do not wash their hands with soap after each passage to the bathroom; although 91% of respondents consume cooked meal outside of the hospital; however 62% of patients have attested that caregivers do not wash their hands between patients; indeed, 66% admitted that caregivers did not change gloves between patients. These results supported the absence of training and information for patients about the IN and their severity.
