Nightingale’s approach from Notes on Nursing Current nursing practice
Intervention according to Nightingale:

One key intervention from Florence Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing is the use of damp cloth wiping to effectively remove dust and organic matter from surfaces in a room. She critiques conventional dusting methods, which merely redistribute dust, and emphasizes that wiping with a damp cloth ensures dust is fully removed (Nightingale, 2020). This approach minimizes the accumulation of harmful particles, improving air quality and preventing musty odors. Nightingale underscores the importance of using washable, non-absorbent materials for furniture and walls to support thorough cleaning and maintain a hygienic environment, especially in sickrooms (Nightingale, 2020).

 

 Intervention according to current research:

A current nursing intervention related to the cleanliness of rooms and walls involves the routine use of disinfectants to clean surfaces in hospital settings. Nurses clean high-touch surfaces, such as bedrails, light switches, and furniture, with hospital-grade disinfectants to reduce the spread of pathogens (Assadian et al., 2021). This practice aligns with infection control protocols and helps prevent healthcare-associated infections. According to Nightingale’s principles, maintaining a clean environment is essential for patient recovery. Modern disinfectants effectively remove both dust and bacteria, ensuring a hygienic and safe space for patients.
