Abstract

The Enterobacteriaceae family widely produces Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL), and infection by ESBL-producing bacteria can significantly increase morbidity, complicate therapeutic difficulties, escalating healthcare costs, and increase mortality rates. Transmission of these bacteria within the hospital environment may lead to the prevalence of ESBL-producing bacterial carriers among healthcare workers. Health workers' infection prevention and control (IPC) behavior plays a role in transmitting these pathogenic bacteria. This study aimed to determine the relationship between IPC behavior and the incidence of ESBL-producing bacterial carriers in health workers at Banjarnegara Islamic Hospital. This research used an observational analytic approach with a cross-sectional method. The sampling technique involved purposive sampling, resulting in a total sample of 61 people. Data were obtained by completing an IPC behavior questionnaire and collecting rectal swab samples cultured on CHROM ESBL Agar media. Statistical analysis was done using the Mann-Whitney test. The research identified a prevalence of 13.1% (8/61) ESBL-producing bacterial carriers among health workers at Banjarnegara Islamic Hospital. However, based on statistical analysis, the p-value was 0.664, leading to the rejection of the hypothesis (accepted if p-value <0.05). In conclusion, there is no significant relationship between IPC behavior and the incidence of ESBL-producing bacterial carriers in health workers at Banjarnegara Islamic Hospital.

Abstract

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) is an enzyme resulting from bacterial gene mutations that can restrict the activity of beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillin, the first, second, and third generation of cephalosporin, and monobactam, except cephamycin and carbapenem. ESBL can cause healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a comprehensive effort to prevent HAIs in healthcare facilities. This research investigated the correlation between IPC knowledge level and the incidence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria carriers in hospital healthcare workers. This research was conducted as observational analytical research using the quantitative and cross-sectional approaches. The research used purposive sampling, involving 61 healthcare workers at Banjarnegara Islamic Hospital. Research instruments included a 24-item questionnaire assessing IPC knowledge and rectal swabs intended to detect the incidence of ESBL carriers using the CHROMagarâ„¢ ESBL medium. Most respondents have a relatively good understanding of IPC, with a median score of 16 (25%). Of the 61 rectal swab samples, eight incidences of ESBL carriers were identified (13%). The isolates of the recognized carriers consist of five Escherichia coli (63%), two Klebsiella pneumoniae (25%), and one Acinetobacter baumannii (12%). Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney hypothesis test with the SPSS software showed a significant value of 0.493. Therefore, there is no correlation between IPC knowledge level and the incidence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing bacteria carriers in hospital healthcare workers.
