Thesis
Introduction: The San José de Popayán University Hospital is, thanks to agreement number 02 of February 4, 2004 and the approval by the municipal council of Popayán, “a public, decentralized entity of the municipal order, with legal status, its own patrimony and administrative autonomy ”, its main mission is“ to offer the population highly complex health services with appropriate technological development in conditions of efficiency and opportunity, with a guarantee of quality and at a reasonable cost ”. Currently, the hospital has more than 80 authorized services, where 33 of them have the certificate of the Verification Commission of the Service Quality Area of the Departmental Health Secretariat. Although the maintenance area of the institution has a large group made up of biomedical engineers, technicians, industrial and civil engineers, the work that they have to do is still quite a lot. Due to the contingency that the country and the world are going through, the institution has entered new personnel such as nurses, nursing assistants and physiotherapists, which has led to the need to organize training aimed at cleaning and disinfecting biomedical equipment. Trainings that in conjunction with an agreement between the engineering department and the institution's infection committee were oriented towards the intensive care service for adults. Objective: The main objective of this project is to establish the necessary guidelines that guarantee proper cleaning and disinfection of biomedical equipment within the intensive care services I and II of the San José de Popayán University Hospital, also guaranteeing its dissemination in person, physical and digital within the institution. Methodology: The implementation of the project consisted of several phases, the first of them focused on the definition of the general aspects of the project, where the staff of the biomedical engineering department, the infection committee and the personnel within the ICU were questioned. and II from the hospital. The second phase was based on the compilation of the user manuals of the equipment that were selected within the services mentioned above. Following this, the next phase consisted of designing the trainings and creating the support material that would be helpful during them. Once the previous phases were completed, the design of the evaluation instrument began to give an idea of the level of knowledge of the healthcare personnel, personnel that would be evaluated before and after receiving the training already designed. Finally, the phase of analyzing and comparing the results obtained in the applied exams and also the digitization of the support material developed would come. Results: In the results presented in the document, the results of the first and second knowledge evaluation are found first and then the comparison between them. Then, the normality tests performed and the Wilcoxon sign rank test applied with the help of the statistical software SPSS ® (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) are shown. Finally, the final results of the digitization and publication of the support material are mentioned. Conclusion: The evaluation and training system developed together with the guidelines established in it proved to be a good tool to improve the knowledge of the healthcare personnel in charge of cleaning and disinfection of the 8 biomedical equipment within the ICU I and II services of the institution. The foregoing, supported by the statistical analysis carried out with the results of the pre and post tests, where a statistically significant difference was evidenced in the perception of knowledge of the evaluated personnel before and after receiving the training, a fact that demonstrates the effectiveness of the project and the work carried out.
