Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect of sanitary wipes and medical alcohol + gauze disinfection methods on the management and use of medical equipment in hospitals. Methods: From February 2023 to August 2023, 80 anorectal surgery medical instruments and equipment were randomly sampled as observation samples, and they were grouped using the random number table method (40 instruments in each group). One group was managed with sanitary wipes and medical alcohol + gauze disinfection method (observation group), and the other group was managed with medical alcohol + gauze disinfection method (control group). The degree of contamination on the surface of instruments and equipment and the staff satisfaction of both groups was noted and compared. Results: After cleaning and disinfection, the relative luminescence luminosity (RLU) value of the surface contamination of the sample instruments and equipment decreased significantly (P < 0.05); and after cleaning and disinfection, the relative luminescence luminosity (RLU) of the observation group’s instruments and equipment decreased significantly, and the value was lower than that of the control group, (P < 0.05); the results of the nursing job satisfaction questionnaire showed that the scores of each survey item in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Integrating sanitary wipes and medical alcohol + gauze disinfection method into the management and use of medical equipment not only improves the disinfection of medical instruments but also improves the job satisfaction of nursing staff. Therefore, this method should be popularized.
