Abstract：Objective:To improve the contact isolation management level and best evidence implementation ability of medical staff in intensive care units(ICUs)and reduce the incidence of multidrug-resistant bacteria hospital infection in ICUs.Methods:Evidence-based nursing methods were used to obtain the best evidence,and the review indicators for contact isolation management of patients with multidrug-resistant bacteria were formulated and used for continuous quality improvement in clinical practice.The incidence of multidrug-resistant bacteria hospital infection in ICUs before and after the application of evidence and the knowledge and implementation of medical staff on contact isolation of patients with multidrug-resistant bacteria were compared.Results:A total of 21 quality review indicators were formulated in this study.After applying the best evidence,the theoretical knowledge score of multidrug-resistant bacteria contact isolation of ICU medical staff increased from(73.49+6.50)points to(92.88+6.27)points.The compliance with contact isolation measures was greatly improved,and the implementation rate of 13 review indicators increased to more than 88％,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The infection rate of multidrug-resistant bacteria hospital in ICU decreased from 3.2％to 1.9％.Conclusions:Applying the best evidence based on evidence in clinical practice will help promote the implementation of contact isolation control measures for patients infected with multidrug-resistant bacteria in the ICU,improve the theoretical knowledge and practical level of medical staff,and reduce the incidence of multidrug-resistant bacteria hospital infection in the ICU.
