Objective To investigate the prevention strategies and effectiveness of evidence-based nursing in multidrug-resistant bacterial (MRB) infections within the infectious diseases department. Methods A total of 80 patients admitted to the infectious diseases department from January 2024 to January 2025 were selected as research subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group (standard nursing care) and an observation group (evidence-based nursing), with 40 cases in each group. Clinical indicators (ICU duration, hospitalization duration), MRB infection incidence and detection rates, quality of life (SF-36), and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The observation group demonstrated significantly shorter clinical indicators, lower MRB infection incidence and detection rates, improved quality of life, and higher nursing satisfaction compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). Conclusion Evidence-based nursing effectively reduces MRB infection rates and detection rates in the infectious diseases department, shortens ICU and hospitalization durations, thereby significantly improving quality of life and nursing satisfaction. This approach holds clinical value for widespread application.
