【爱马斯全球】养老院中的成人护理 Adult care in nursing homes

Nursing homes are a vital resource for elderly people who are no longer able to take care of themselves. In the future, the demand for long-term care organizations will likely increase as baby boomers begin to require these services. According to data from Family Caregiver Alliance, the number of elderly people using long-term care services will reach 27 million by 2050, more than twice the number of individuals using these services in 2000. The organization also noted people older than 85 are among the fastest-growing segments of the population and are expected to reach 19 million by 2050.

对于无法照顾自己的老年群体,养老院是可以利用的重要资源。在未来，长期护理机构的需求可能会增加，因为婴儿潮时期出生的一代人逐渐开始需要这种服务。根据美国家庭看护者联盟的数据显示，（预计）截止到2050年，需要长期护理服务的老年人将达到2700万，（这个数据）相比2000年增长了两倍之多。该组织还指出，85岁以上的人群是人口增长最快的部分，估计在2050年将达1900万。

Elderly care facilities are large operations that require a significant amount of disposable gloves and other materials for staff to provide service to residents, making their needs in many ways similar to day care centers. They are self-contained living facilities that require staff to accommodate every element of care, from bathing to feeding. These facilities have nurses, janitors, foodservice staff and even landscapers who require gloves. Ongoing measures to improve quality of care in these facilities could also lead to an increase in staffing requirements, leading to the need for even more gloves on hand. 

老年护理机构对一次性手套和其他防护设备的需求量巨大,在很多方面类似于日托中心。

老年护理机构属于独立的生活机构，从洗漱到喂饭，每一个护理步骤都要员工处理。在这些机构里，护士、门卫、餐饮工作者、甚至园丁都需要佩戴手套。随着这些机构护理质量的提高，需要配备更多的工作人员，从而导致需要更多手套的需求。

"Initiatives to improve quality of care could increase staffing needs." 

“提高护理质量的举措可能会增加对员工的需求量。”

Exam gloves

检查手套

It's also important for staff in nursing homes to wear disposable gloves for most tasks. There is risk of spreading or contracting bloodborne pathogens, so staff dealing with patient cuts or wounds should wear exam-grade gloves. Staff should avoid powdered gloves in this environment because the powder can interfere with wound closure. AMMEX Nitrile Exam Gloves are a good option for staff. These gloves also come in several different colors, which can be helpful for organizational purposes. Companies can color code gloves by size so all staff can quickly find the gloves they need. 

对养老院中的护理人员来说，佩戴一次性手套处理大多数工作非常重要。因为处理病人伤口有传播及感染血源性病原的风险，所以员工处理时都应该佩戴好检查手套。这种情况下，工作人员应该避免使用有粉手套。因为粉末可能会影响伤口的愈合。爱马斯丁腈检查手套是工作人员一个很好的选择。这种手套有几种不同的颜色，有助于分类管理。企业可以对不同尺寸采购不同颜色，这样员工就能迅速找到各自所需手套。

Other glove needs

其他手套需求

There are many moving parts in a nursing home facility. While nurses and physicians bathe and examine patients, the cafeteria workers are busy preparing meals, and janitors may be cleaning hallways, bathrooms or dining areas. All of these employees require disposable gloves as barrier protection. Cafeteria workers need to wear gloves to prevent the spread of foodborne illness, while janitorial workers need to protect themselves from cleaning chemicals and bloodborne pathogens. Landscapers also require a barrier to protect themselves from lawn and garden chemicals.

在养老院，很多流程都在同时进行。当护士和医生在为病人洗漱或检查时，食堂工作人员正忙着准备饭菜，同时清洁人员在清理走廊、浴室或是餐厅。所有这些环节的人员都需要（佩戴）一次性手套来作为防护屏障。正如餐厅工作人员需要戴手套来防止食源性疾病的传播；而清洁人员需要保护自己（的双手）免受化学药品和血源性病原体（的危害）。园丁也需要防护屏障来保护自己免受草坪和花园里化学物质的伤害。
