Stop the Spread: Back-to-School Infection Prevention
19:18
18:44
So you kind of talked about this earlier, right, as we started, but what is the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, disinfecting, and when do we need to do each? And also, do quote-unquote green cleaners, like air purifiers or UV sanitizers, do those work as well against common school pathogens?

Stephanie StroeverGUEST
And so we talk about cleaning in health care where if there's blood splatter or body fluids or something, you start by cleaning it.

So Stephanie, what was it like designing a survey where you're essentially asking very accomplished professionals to write about how their field will fail to protect health and safety if there is not collective action?

Stephanie StroeverGUEST
So I work in the methodology space, and I will say this is a very different type of survey from the ones that I'm used to designing, which are very statistically heavy and have a lot of validity psychometric statistics behind them.

Stephanie StroeverGUEST
So working with our team, actually, we began by first taking some examples of premortems that were already published in the literature.

Stephanie StroeverGUEST
What do we really want and need to know from infection prevention professionals to answer these questions? Like any survey, we wanted to make sure that the questions made sense and captured what we intended.

But next, can you walk us through how you distinguished analytically between contributing factors and missed opportunities? Because those seem like they could easily blur together.

Kelly HolmesHOST
Knowing all this, how concerned should we be as an IP when we encounter these pests in our patient care spaces? Do we freak out? Is it DEFCON 5? Tell us about it.

Stephanie StroeverGUEST
Yeah, I think that's where we run into the limitations of the literature.

Stephanie StroeverGUEST
So what we found was they are in healthcare facilities and they are leaving their gooey fingers everywhere.

Stephanie StroeverGUEST
And there've been a couple of papers who, they didn't have a direct causal link, but they made a really great case for the fact that these insects are in some way tied to this outbreak.

Kelly HolmesHOST
So for IPs, thinking about assessing this risk, how would you advise them to make decisions about supplies or just really what is the next step beyond calling facilities and be like, hey, can you call the pest service?
