Abstract

Abstract : Hospital logistics staff comprise a crucial, albeit easily overlooked, group in the prevention and control of hospital nosocomial infections, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. From the perspective of hospital safety improvement, this paper describes the current situation and challenges in the prevention and control of nosocomial infections among hospital logistics staff. We also provide the following suggestions to improve nosocomial infections: (1) updating the learning system of nosocomial infections, (2) reinforcing the training of infections prevention, (3) properly arranging manpower and resources, and (4) improving the supervision and management system.
