21 lut 2022 · Improvement in hand hygiene compliance has been highlighted as the most effective measure to reduce transmission of pathogenic microorganisms in health care and lower the incidence of HAI in health-care settings, 4,5 which is even more relevant in the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Background: The hands of healthcare workers (HCWs) are known to be a primary source of transmission of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Thus, both practising hand hygiene (HH) and adhering to HH guidelines are expected to decrease the risk of transmission.
applied to identify the most important drivers of hand hygiene implementation. In this 2019 global survey, we observed large hand hygiene implementation differences across country income levels, and across health-care facility’s funding structure (private versus public funding); availability of more
The purpose of this meeting was to provide a synthesis of recent evidence and formulate a research agenda on four critical areas for the implementation of effective hand hygiene practices: (1) ABHR formulations and hand rubbing techniques, (2) low-resource settings and local production of ABHR, (3) hand hygiene monitoring and technological ...
Hand hygiene (HH) in health care facilities is a key component to reduce pathogen transmission and nosocomial infections. However, most HH interventions (HHI) have not been sustainable.
Based on these insights, this study develops and tests a nudge and boost intervention in a hospital. The nudge reframes hand hygiene as a moment of care for the patient, shifting the beneficiary of hand hygiene toward the patient rather than the nurse or doctor.
Background Evidence that hand hygiene (HH) reduces healthcare-associated infections has been available for almost two centuries. Yet HH compliance among healthcare professionals continues to be low, and most efforts to improve it have failed. Objective To improve healthcare workers' HH, and reduce healthcare-associated infections.
