    Description

    We talk about the knowledge attitudes and practice of nurses regarding oral hygiene of dependent inpatients in this podcast with Dr Isabel Oliveira. Understanding these is an important element of improving oral care and potentially reducing hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) more broadly.  Isbael is a rehabilitation nurse with a particular focus and interest in dysphagia and oral care, including the prevention of HAP. She works at the  Centre for Health Studies and Research of the University of Coimbra (CEISUC) in Portugal. 
     
    The paper referred to in this podcast is "Knowledge, attitudes and practices of nurses regarding oral hygiene of dependent inpatients".

    We are a group of professionals who work in the field of infectious disease and infection prevention and control. In this podcast series, we discuss new research and issues on the topic of infection prevention and control. We will pick new papers of interest and will discuss them, often with an author of the paper who can give us some insights into the research that go beyond the written paper. Authors will include nurses, doctors, academics, clinicians, administrators and leaders. We should stress that all of our comments relate to our own opinions and that they do not necessarily reflect those institutions and employers that we relate to. We welcome comment, suggestions and ideas.
