Research title and research background
Knowledge and practice towards prevention of surgical site infection
among healthcare professionals in Buraidah city, Saudi Arabia
The objective of the research is to review a journal paper based on the
surgical site infection (SSI) and evaluate the role of healthcare professionals
in the reduction of surgical site infections in Saudi Arabia (Alabdulrazaq,
Almutairi, Alhsaon, & Alsaigh, 2018). The background of the study is related
to the prevalence that means the researcher focus on the prevention
strategies for reducing the problem of surgical site infection between
healthcare professionals. The chosen article provides a way to classify the
risk features that lead SSI in the consumers and suggest effective programs
for addressing such issues in the healthcare systems.
Research problem/purpose
Surgical site infection is a major problem that needs to be addressed
and the chosen paper provided complete facts about the research problem
in order to enhance health in the context of healthcare professionals. The
researchers identified specific problems (surgical site infection) and
described the effective intervention programs for addressing such issues in
the healthcare systems. Lack of awareness is a major problem with the
health professionals due to which they are not able to manage surgical site
infection in the communities (Berríos, et al., 2017).
This proposed research provided a way to understand such issues and
enhance the health of health professionals in Saudi Arabia and suggest
effective strategies for addressing surgical site infections in the workplace.
In order to solve the research problem, writers included opinions of other
investigators and reviewed the findings of recent papers towards the
research title. Moreover, the researchers highlighted the impacts of

surgical site infection on the health professional that helped to manage such
issues and described programs play a significant contribution to the
discount of SSI.
Variables/Hypotheses/Questions/Assumptions
SSI is capable to impact on the health and wellbeing of the patients in
healthy communities. The limitations of surgical site infection may be
guided by the preventive measures taken by practitioners of surgical care in
the healthcare processes. For addressing such issues the researchers
conducted a validated questionnaire and obtained opinions of participants
about the SSI (Tanner, Dumville, Norman, & Fortnam, 2016). While
conducting the research, writers focused on the dependent and independent
variables and reported that the dependent variables include health
professionals, risk factors that lead surgical infections in patients and many
more. On the other hand, independent variables contained institutional
factors and socio-demographic status of the SSI.
The developed questions in the survey were from validated
questionnaires and pre-tested in the population sample in order to gather
appropriate points and facts related to the surgical site infection. The major
part of the conducted questionnaire is that it helped to address research
questions and managed the flow of information in the entire paper
(Webster, & Alghamdi, 2015). After reviewing the chosen paper it is found
that the writers clearly highlighted research objectives and questions
included in the data gathering techniques. In order to provide responses
related to the developed questions, the researchers conducted a literature
search and reduced the research gaps effectively.
It is determined that the research objective of the paper was to review
practice and knowledge of health care professions in the context of the
prevention of SSI in the communities. Moreover, the researchers conducted
a questionnaire in order to define the incidence degree of surgical site
