Abstract: Objective: To assess the application effects of grid management strategies towards medical auxiliaries in a general hospital during the anti-epidemic period of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: Medical auxiliaries were management objects in this research. Management effects were traced and evaluated by establishing grid infection control team, defining responsibilities, refining content and conducting grid management strategies. Results: After one-month use of grid management strategies in the prevention and control of hospital infection, staff management score increased from 3.00±1.41 to 4.17±0.75, manual skill score increased from 3.50±1.38 to 4.67±0.52, theoretical knowledge score increased from 3.63±1.30 to 4.60±0.60, total score increased from 3.40±1.31 to 4.60±0.60. All these differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: During anti- epidemic period of COVID-19, grid management strategies towards medical auxiliaries could raise their awareness of infection prevention and control, and increase their manual skills. In addition, strategies used in this study could urge medical auxiliaries to strictly obey prevention and control measures to decrease or avoid the occurrence of cluster transmission and nosocomial infection. Meanwhile, they could strengthen the connotation construction of nursing unit management.
