| Research Abstract |
A survey was conducted on adverse events as well as compliance with standard precautions at home visit facilities, using a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire. The survey of home visit facilities across Japan showed that had infections as adverse events were reported by 77 managers (39.7%) out of the 194, and 97 nurses (18.7%) out of the 520 who returned the questionnaire. The most frequent adverse event was needlestick injury. Other frequent adverse events were infections with scabies or tuberculosis, and norovirus. It was suggested that the cause of adverse events relating to infection are connected to the current situation where information on infection and safety precautions is hard to obtain, as well as a lack of mastery of standard precautions. We need to take steps for prevent the adverse events relating to infection in the provision of visiting-nurse services.
