Fondation Brocher | Mary Wyer

L’utilité de ce genre d’institutions est incontestable. Car le monde moderne est sans cesse confronté à des innovations, médicales ou autres, qui s’appliquent à l’homme ou à son environnement proche. Ce lieu est donc nécessaire pour préparer la matière intellectuelle qui sera ensuite transférée aux citoyens afin que ceux- ci puissent se prononcer quant à la légitimité de ces innovations.

Involving patients in understanding infection control using visual methods
Objectives – Brocher residency - completing thesis - plan for journal articles that can be written from thesis - networking with other Brocher residents - networking with infection control experts in Switzerland Objectives - thesis Employing a primarily ‘interventionist’ ethnographic study of the way in which patients’ needs and actions intersect with IPC practices in hospital environments, this research addresses the following five research questions: - How do patients experience infection prevention and control? - How do patient/ clinician interactions shape understandings of infection prevention and control? - Do patients contribute to infection prevention and control? If so how? - What experiences help or hinder their efforts to enact infection prevention and control? - What kinds of processes support patient/ clinician collaboration to enable safer care around infection prevention and control?

My research uses a multi-method approach, including interviews, ethnographic observations and video-reflexive ethnography, to explore how patients and carers annd healthcare workers experience, understand and enact infection prevention and control and Biocontainment practices.I specifically focus on roles patients play in preventing infection transmission. This research also offers patient and carer feedback to frontline clinicians and policy makers that can inform patient-centred re-design of infection control services.
