Résumé
Hand hygiene is crucial for preventing nosocomial infections; however, adherence rates need further attention. Prevention of nosocomial infections through regular hand hygiene monitoring and feedback is recommended by the World Health Organization. Technology holds the potential for achieving this goal. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of technological behavior monitoring innovations on hand hygiene adherence and their acceptance by healthcare professionals. A rapid review of the literature was conducted. A literature search was performed in electronic databases (Cochrane Library, Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, PSYNDEX) and via citation tracking in November 2017. Records were screened for eligibility. Included studies were analyzed and synthesized in a narrative, tabular way. Overall, 2,426 studies were identified, and 12 were included. Findings indicated that behavior monitoring technology improves hand hygiene adherence, resulting in adherence increases between 6.40%-54.97%. The majority of systems provided real-time feedback. Factors influencing acceptance of technology by healthcare professionals include transparency and confidentiality, user attitude and environment, device function, and device usability. Recognizing the importance of hand hygiene adherence, active communication between behavior monitoring technology and healthcare workers seems to mediate improvement in sustainable hand hygiene adherence behavior.

BACKGROUND
Hand hygiene is crucial for preventing nosocomial infections; however, adherence rates need further attention. Prevention of nosocomial infections through regular hand hygiene monitoring and feedback is recommended by the World Health Organization. Technology holds the potential for achieving this goal. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of technological behavior monitoring innovations on hand hygiene adherence and their acceptance by healthcare professionals.
METHODS
A rapid review of the literature was conducted. A literature search was performed in electronic databases (Cochrane Library, Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, PSYNDEX) and via citation tracking in November 2017. Records were screened for eligibility. Included studies were analyzed and synthesized in a narrative, tabular way.
RESULTS
Overall, 2,426 studies were identified, and 12 were included. Findings indicated that behavior monitoring technology improves hand hygiene adherence, resulting in adherence increases between 6.40%-54.97%. The majority of systems provided real-time feedback. Factors influencing acceptance of technology by healthcare professionals include transparency and confidentiality, user attitude and environment, device function, and device usability.
CONCLUSIONS
Recognizing the importance of hand hygiene adherence, active communication between behavior monitoring technology and healthcare workers seems to mediate improvement in sustainable hand hygiene adherence behavior.
