Research Topic 1- Infection Control
1) The two identified areas associated to the topic that will improve and support the practice
as enrolled nurse is hand hygiene monitoring protocol and infection control.
2) The primary reason for undertaking the research is described as follows:
A. Knowledge extension- Hand hygiene monitoring protocol will discuss in elaborate
regarding the healthcare related infection and effective hygiene methods like washing
hand to reduce the incidence of hospital-related infection (Tawfiq & Tambyah, 2014).
B. Trend identification- Hospital- related infection are very common and prevalent hence
this monitoring protocol will be effective in reducing the infection (Zingg et al.,
2015).
C. Comparison- To compare if hand hygiene monitoring protocol is effective in
controlling hospital related infection than standard hygiene protocol (Han et al.,
2015).
3) The statement highlighting the hypothesis of the research question is:
“Is hand hygiene monitoring protocol effective in reducing hospital-associated infection?”
4) The objective of this research study is defined as follows:
The principal objective is to assess whether hand hygiene monitoring systems produce
sustainable improvements or advancement in hand hygiene acquiescence when related to
traditional care system.
5) Nursing discipline is connected to this research activity as the nurses are responsible to
maintain good hygiene practice under the guidelines for hand hygiene system in NMBA
standard of practice for enrolled nurse (Fried 2014).
6) The link of the sources used in this research study is as follows:

7) In order to answer the research question the appropriate method of gathering information is
systematic review and literature review.
Systematic review is chosen better than literature review method as it is more efficient
and chances of error is least. The studies used in this method is reviewed by two different
researcher and in case of any error or dispute, third reviewer in involved in solving the error.
8) The four resources used for this research topic is as follows:

9) The relevant information considered for this assignment is the knowledge regarding
health-related infection (HAIs) that were not preventable earlier and were caused by

antibiotic-resistant organism but now HAIs were preventable due to hygiene intervention
using multimodal hand hygiene program.
10) Summary of the sources used in this research study:
A. Srigley, J. A., Lightfoot, D., Fernie, G., Gardam, M., & Muller, M. P. (2013). Hand
hygiene monitoring technology: protocol for a systematic review. Systematic reviews, 2(1),
101
In this study, the researcher focused on the hygiene practice of healthcare worker and
established important intervention based on direct observation. Systematic review was
conducted for supporting the evidence of this system, stating the primary objective to
determine the yield of hand hygiene monitoring system in improving compliance of hand
hygiene as compared to standard care. After detail analysis of the studies it was
established that hand hygiene monitoring system is efficient in controlling and improving
the hand hygiene compliance.

Health care-associated infection (HAI) is the crucial health problem affecting large
population and representing as an economic burden in the healthcare system. Infection
prevention and control measures (IPC) is used to prevent the incidence of infection. The
researcher modified the guidelines of IPC for better and successful result with better
quality of care. World Health Organization (WHO) also recommended different care
components to develop and improve the effectiveness of IPC program. Hence, the aim of
this research study is to develop the guideline in order to identify and evaluate the
resource implication, acceptability, feasibility and patient preference and value of IPC.
