We are planning multi-centre randomised control trial exploring the effect of oral care on the prevention of pneumonia in hospitalised patients (HAPPEN study).
To inform the trial, the research team are seeking responses from nurses who are working in a hospitals in a patient facing role, by completing a short survey. The survey is exploring knowledge, barriers and educational needs around oral care and pneumonia prevention.
?The study is led by Professor Brett Mitchell ( Avondale University ) and includes many partners in Australian College of Nursing (ACN) , clinician and researchers.

We know that aspiration alone is not enough to cause pneumonia and that poor oral hygiene / dependence upon others for oral care is a key risk factor. I'll look forward to seeing where your work in this space takes you.
