组织文化（OC）是医务人员感染预防和控制（IPC）行为的重要驱动力。本研究采用基于霍夫施泰德模型的有效评估工具，对7家欧洲医院的OC进行了检查，并确定了OC评分的显著变化。耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）患病率低的医院在变革促进和变革准备方面得分较高，而MRSA患病率高的医院在这些决定因素方面得分较低。它是可能的使用工具，可在医疗保健之外，研究OC在医院内，并获得更好的洞察IPC行为改变策略。(C)2015年，卫生保健感染协会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
It has been suggested that organizational culture (OC) is an important driver of infection prevention and control (IPC) behaviour among healthcare workers. This study examined OC in seven European hospitals using a validated assessment tool based on Hofstede's model, and identified significant variations in OC scores. Hospitals with low prevalence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) exhibited high scores for change facilitation and change readiness, whereas hospitals with high prevalence of MRSA exhibited low scores for these determinants. It is possible to use tools, available outside health care, to study OC within hospitals and gain better insight into IPC behaviour change strategies. (C) 2015 The Healthcare Infection Society.
