डॉक्टर से संपर्क करें- यदि आपको उपर बताए गए इसके लक्षणों का अनुभव हो रहा है जैसे तेज बुखार, पेट में दर्द, कमजोरी और टाइफाइड से संबंधित और अन्य लक्षण तो जल्द से जल्द डॉक्टर से संपर्क करें ताकि यह बुखार गंभीर रूप धारण न कर ले।

HAIs are infections that patients get healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)while receiving treatment for medical or surgical conditions, and many HAIs are preventable. However, some healthcare providers (HCP) distance themselves from affected patients. HAIs also affect the patient’s physical health, relationships, etc. Also Read - Earache or ear pain: Know the causes and home remedies

According to the Hindustan Times report, researchers at Glasgow Caledonian University looking at 17 studies from five different countries and addressing five common types of HAIs conducted a meta-synthesis of qualitative research, focusing on patient experiences of both infection and colonization from bacteria that commonly cause HAIs. According to the ANI report, the findings appeared in the American Journal of Infection Control.

Few patients reported receiving constructive information and feeling reassured about their condition, whereas on the other hand, few patients reported feeling dismissed by staff members.

The lead author of the study, Kay Currie reportedly explained “Having an HAI is a significant event in the patient’s care journey and subsequent life that is influenced by biology, society, and context. Understanding the patient experience can help HCP to interact and respond in a constructive way, providing more effective support during this challenging time in a patient’s healthcare experience.”

This qualitative review provides valuable insights on how healthcare professionals can more effectively interact with their patients to enhance recovery in all areas of their lives.
