Background
• Blood and body fluid (BBF) exposure high in perioperative settings (ACORN 2014-15)
• Perioperative personnel worldwide often fail to use PPE (Chan, Ho & Day, 2008)
• Knowledge and risk appraisal varies from person to person (Osborne 2003)
• Time pressures, support from managers and colleagues all affect staff use of PPE (Moore, Edward, King & Giandinoto, 2014; Moore et al., 2005)
Education as a Strategy
• Can improve PPE use and modify behaviour-
consideration of approach and delivery
• Mode of delivery matters (Dierssen-Sotos et al., 2010; Helder, Brug, Looman, van Goudoever & Kornelisse, 2010)
• Time burden (short but regular/repeated)(Chatterjee, Heybrock, Plummer & Eischen, 2004)
• Expertise and credibility

Aims
• Assess current use of PPE by staff in peri operative setting
• Develop and implement an educational program
• Increase staff awareness of risk of BBF
exposure in peri operative setting
Page 6
Objectives
• Developing and delivering best practice infection control education
• Increasing OR/ PARU staff knowledge and risk assessment
• Determining any improvement in PPE usage 6 months following education
Page 7
Participating Site
• Large metropolitan private hospital with
450 beds
• 23 theatres across three sites
• 36,000+ theatre cases per year
Page 8
Method
• Pilot study using a randomised controlled trial design
• Two arms (control and education)
• Randomisation – opaque sealed envelopes selected randomly by participants
• Two time points (baseline and 6 months)
• Survey developed for the study - undertaken by all participants at each time point

Education Package
Four modules with self assessment and quizzes related to PPE
1. Module one - background to personal protective equipment
2. Module two - scenarios
3. Module three - standard and additional precautions
4. Module four - risk assessment and PPE selection

What is the nature of the interaction?
What are the risks for blood and bodily fluid exposure?
What PPE will reduce the risk of exposure?

Data collection
• Included staff centred characteristics
• Job related variables
• Organisational factors
• Patient centred characteristics
• Self reported compliance with standard precautions
(Gershon et al., 1995; Gerschon et al., 2000)

Awareness of Systems of Care following BBF Exposure
Impact of the education
• Positive impact in general for wearing PPE
• Some contradictions with particular types of PPE
• Greater awareness of reporting systems following exposure to BBF
Page 17
Limitations
• Small sample size
• Individual learning styles
• Data is reliant upon self reporting • Formal evaluation of education
Page 18
Education Delivery
• One mode of educational delivery - printed modules
• Multimodal approach more effective over time(Panhotra, Saxena & Al-Arabi, 2004)
• Shown to increase knowledge and intention to change practice
(Cook, Friedman, Lord & Bradley-Springer, 2009)
Page 19
Education and Behavioural Change
• Education only one factor (Ward, 2011)
• Need to understand behaviour and change
• Risk assessment clearly indicated as common in our findings

Health Belief Model and Behaviour with PPE
Page 21
Health BehaviourWill wear PPE if exposed
to obvious risk - e.g. infected patient
Belief in personal health threat
Dependent on type of exposure
Perceived SusceptibilityNegligible risk of contracting disease from BBF exposure
Perceived SeverityBlood borne diseases can
be fatal
Belief in effectiveness of health behaviour
Dependent on design of PPE
Perceived Benefits
Receive protection
Perceived BarriersInaccessibility, discomfort,
interference with performing tasks
Education and the Process of Change
Lewin’s 3 StepChange Theory
Page 22
Lewin’s Change Model
UNFREEZING:
Challenging current ideas and motivate to change - Education
CHANGING:
Reinforcing PPE & establishing new
behaviours – Multimodal education
REFREEZING:
Making change permanent – Continuing education &
feedback
Conclusions
• Education:• appropriate and pertinent• knowledge of risk
• Single education intervention – limited
• Andragogical principles:• Multimodal approaches• Interactive, face to face sessions • Flexible models• Frequent repetition – on-going time frames
Organisational commitment essential
