Brief Summary

The aim of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness, on the skin cleanliness of the patient on arrival at the operating room, of an intervention aimed at improving the performance of the preoperative shower, for patients undergoing a planned surgical intervention in an orthopedic surgery department, digestive, gynecological, thoracic, or vascular.

Detailed Description

The project will be realized in 2 phases.

• The first phase of the project will consist of a sociological survey conducted with caregivers and patients in the care sectors participating in the study. This component sociological research will be carried out on the basis of in-depth interviews with caregivers (nurses and nursing assistants) from the departments concerned by research and patients. The expected sample, subject to data saturation, is 40 caregivers and 20 patients. These in-depth and non-directive interviews will be carried out by a sociologist and will aim to explore the way in which healthcare professionals see their activity professional, the relationship they maintain with the various members of the healthcare team, their perceptions of the body, privacy and hygiene of patients, but also to explore the representations of caregivers of the preoperative shower and of the relationship with caregivers during phases of explanation, possible help with the shower, and control of cleanliness cutaneous. These interviews will identify the representations of caregivers and patients with the aim of establishing a procedure for caregivers to improve care of the preoperative shower. In view of the statements of patients and caregivers concerning preparing for the preoperative shower and checking skin cleanliness during the Survey exploratory, it appears necessary to improve and formalize the protocol. Investigation will thus establish a base of knowledge necessary to establish a care procedure giving an account of the roles of each person, caregivers and patients.
