Résumé
A novel patient empowerment strategy called Patient Motivational Dialogue purposed to improve hand hygiene compliance is described. Two barriers to sustainability of patients asking health care providers (HCP) to clean their hands were noted in this study: (1) the HCP responding negatively to the patient asking, and (2) the patient misunderstanding that wearing gloves does not replace hand hygiene. Both barriers may be addressed through education of HCP and of consumer.
