| Research Abstract |
The outpatient unit is associated with a high risk of infection because it is an area where many patients and hospital staff converge. We administered a self-report questionnaire on topics such as fever and cough to 23,065 outpatients(valid response rate, 87.0%), and analyzed the responses in reference to the patient diagnoses. The results showed that 78.6% of patients with infections had diseases requiring measures against droplet infection. We performed antibody measurements for vaccine-preventable diseases(VPD) such as measles and rubella and conducted a questionnaire survey on infection prevention in a total of 324 staff members ; they revealed that some staff members continued to engage in duties without acquiring immunity, indicating the need for vaccine programs.
