Study: Effects of ICU Design on Handwashing
Research Example
- Study sites: two intensive care units—one older, one new—in a Texas hospital
- Three types of patient rooms:
- Six-bed open bay—centralized nursing stations
- Small single bed rooms—centralized nursing stations
- Large single bed rooms with decentralized nursing stations
Notes:
One research study looked at the infection rate of infants before and after they were moved to private rooms.
