摘要
Background: The avoidance of cross-infect ion remains of critical importance to prevent the transmission of cystic fibrosis (CF)-related microbial pathogens to persons/people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF). To date, there has been a paucity of infection prevention and con-trol (IPC) guidance relating to infection risk at higher educational institutions. With improve-ments in treatments, more PwCF are now attending universities/colleges and educational institutions now seek CF-specific guidance on IPC from clinical CF teams/centres.Methods: Real world infection-related questions from university students, educators, univer-sity support staff and the CF multidisciplinary team were received and collated from various stakeholders, including individual consultations and focus group sessions with two local univer-sities. Subsequently, evidence-based recommendations were compiled from existing peer-reviewed literature and from cystic fibrosis organisations. Glossaries were constructed relating to clinical, microbiological and educational/pedagogical terminology to aid with the under-standing amongst these stakeholder groups.Results: This review addresses CF-related IPC recommendations across five areas of university/ college life, including (i) on campus estate, (ii) teaching (lectures/tutorials/small study group work/group assignments), (iii) laboratory practicals, (iv) field trips/study visits/work placements and (v) residential accommodation and lists practical recommendations to help prevent the transmission of infections to PwCF students.Conclusions: It is important that the educational institutional environment is safe permitting the PwCF student to enjoy their educational experience and journey through higher education, culminating in achievement of their educational goals, employment and independent living. The guidance presented in this review is intended to equip educational establishments in creating their own bespoke and robust IPC policies relating to PwCF students. 2022 Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control.
