Abstract
Introduction: Preventing the intra-hospital infections is one of the major concerns in the last year. To that end, different strategies have been set such as hospital isolation. However, there is a grate default in order to comply with the isolation measures Objective: To determine the sociodemographic and healthcare factors related to how to comply with the contact warnings by the visitors coming into a high complexity hospital in Medellín. Methods: It is a cross-sectional descriptive study including in total 126 visitors who were isolated after a contact. Factors associated with the isolation compliance were identified based on a survey. Information was analyzed with SPSS software by doing a logistic regression and statistical significance was assumed as P<0.05. Results: Total adherence to isolation was 40.5%, which is mainly associated with two factors: availability of protective garments and to agree with their use. Conclusions: The factors deemed as best associated with the isolation compliance required that the institutions provided enough protective garments to the visitors and that both the visitors and the hospital staff can receive a better awareness-rising communication on this topic.
