Abstract Objective To analyze the data of targeted monitoring analysis of nosocomial infections in ICUs in a psychiatric hospital and to put forward intervention measures, so as to reduce the infection rate in hospital.Methods: By means of prospective and retrospective survey, the targeted monitoring analysis of incidence of nosocomial infections was performed for the patients who were hospitalized from Jan 2013 to Dec 2014, then the related factors of nosocomial infection was analyzed. Results: Among 361 hospitalized patients in ICU of a psychiatric hospital, 36 cases suffered the nosocomial infections with the infection rate of 10.0% in total and 8.9‰ in a day. The univariate analysis indicated that the risk factors of nosocomial infections were as follows: patients more than 70 years old, stay in hospital more than 14 days, transferred from other departments, and with invasive operations. The rate of lower respiratory tract infections accounted for 51.2%,urinary tract infections for 30.2%, blood infections for 14.0%. Of the 189 strains of pathogens isolated from the samples, Gram negative bacilli ranked the first place, accounting for 60.3%, the second was Gram positive cocci (27.5%), and the third was Fungi (12.2%).Conclusion: The nosocomial infection rate is high in ICU of a psychiatric hospital. Some measures have to be taken to reduce the incidence of infection.
