Hand disinfection (HD) is known to be the single most effective prevention measure to avoid nosocomial infections, but the compliance rate (CR) remains low. The aim of this study was to determine the ...
This is a single-blinded direct observation of employees of an.ßintensive care unit. One specially educated observer recorded all hand hygiene indications over a period of 21 8-hour shifts as well as ...
Over a period of 168.ßhours, 2,036 HDs should be performed during the care for 1 intensive care unit patient. In total, only 690 HDs occurred, resulting in a CR of 33.9%. With regard to the nurses, th...
Our results show that HD opportunities occur in high frequency during the treatment of critically ill patients. The compliance with HD remains too low, even when a 100% CR seems to be unachievable. Im...
Annually, infections contribute to approximately 25% of the 2.8 million neonatal deaths worldwide. Over 95% of sepsis-related neonatal deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Hand hygiene is...
To determine the effectiveness of different hand hygiene agents for preventing neonatal infection in both community and health facility settings....
Searches were conducted without date or language limits in December 2022 in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, Embase and Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Heal...
We used standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane and the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of evidence. Primary outcomes were incidence of suspected infection (author-defined in st...
Our review included six studies: two RCTs, one cluster-RCT, and three cross-over trials. Three studies involved 3281 neonates; the remaining three did not specify the actual number of neonates include...
We found a paucity of data that would allow us to reach meaningful conclusions pertaining to the superiority of one form of antiseptic hand hygiene agent over another for the prevention of neonatal in...
To evaluate the effectiveness of an automated hand hygiene compliance system (AHHCS) audible alert and vibration for increasing hand hygiene compliance....
A nonrandomized, before-and-after, quasi-experimental study of an AHHCS was implemented in several inpatient units. Over a 51-day period, the system's real-time audible alert was turned on, off, and b...
This study was conducted at a level 1 trauma center, a regional academic health system with 1,564 beds....
The AHHCS was implemented in 9 inpatient units: 3 adult medical-surgical step-down units, and 6 adult intensive care units. The AHHCS badges were assigned to patient care assistants, registered nurses...
In the 9 inpatient units, selected healthcare staff were issued wearable badges that detected entry into and exit from a patient room. The audible alert was turned on for 16 days, turned off for 17 da...
Utilization of the AHHCS real-time audible alert reminder resulted in sustained HH compliance ≥90%. When the alert and vibration were deactivated, HH compliance dropped to an average of 74% (range, 62...
Utilization of an AHHCS with real-time reminder audible alerts may be an effective method to increase healthcare worker HH compliance to ≥90%. Users of AHHCSs should consider the use of real-time remi...
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a six-step hand hygiene technique. Although multiple studies have reported that this technique yields inadequate skin coverage outcomes, they have relied...
Availability of alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) dispensers at positions adapted to the work flow of healthcare workers (HCWs) is decisive in order to carry out indication-based hand rubbing. Although re...
In order to analyse the impact of the location and number of ABHR dispensers on hand hygiene performance, additional dispensers were systematically placed in patient rooms in a surgical 38-bed ward at...
The addition of dispensers increased ABHR consumption across the entire ward. Before the intervention, mean consumption was 20.6 mL/patient-day, whereas mean consumption after the intervention was 25....
ABHR consumption can be increased significantly by optimizing the position and number of dispensers. The outstanding factors are visibility and integrability of dispenser use into the work flow; in pa...
We aimed to test the accuracy of an electronic hand hygiene monitoring system (EHHMS) during daily clinical activities in different wards and with varying health care professions....
The accuracy of an EHHMS (Sani Nudge) was assessed during real clinical conditions by comparing events registered by two observers in parallel with events registered by the EHHMS. The events were cate...
A total of 103 events performed by 25 health care workers (9 doctors, 11 nurses, and 5 cleaning assistants) were included in the analyses. The EHHMS had a sensitivity of 100% and a PPV of 100% when me...
The objective accuracy measures demonstrate that this EHHMS can capture hand hygiene behavior under clinical conditions in different settings with clinical health care workers but show less accuracy w...
Hand hygiene among professionals plays a crucial role in preventing healthcare-associated infections, yet poor compliance in hospital settings remains a lasting reason for concern. Nudge theory is an ...
Hand hygiene has long been promoted as the most effective way to prevent the transmission of infection. However, due to low compliance and low quality of hand hygiene reported in previous studies, con...
In total, 32 participants were recruited to participate in this study. Participants were required to perform four types of hand rubbing to achieve different coverage of the alcohol-based formulation. ...
This system found promising results in terms of accuracy (93.5%) and Dice coefficient (87.1%) when observations took place 10 s after hand rubbing. At 60 s after hand rubbing, accuracy and Dice coeffi...
Thermal imaging has potential for accurate, constant and systematic monitoring of the quality of hand hygiene....
We investigated whether an anonymous automated electronic monitoring system (EMS) could be used to compare hand hygiene (HH) performance of individual nurses....
Prospective observational cohort study. HH performance in 10 acute-care patient rooms was estimated through an EMS that anonymously measured HH events, and room entries and exits. The association betw...
Over 99 days, there were 38,596 HH events and 135,546 room entries and exits (global HH performance, 28%). For 10 of 54 (19%) nurses, the median HH percentile rank of the rooms to which they were assi...
An association exists between a room's HH rate and its assigned nurse. This association could hold potential value for an individualized feedback strategy....
The improvement of hand hygiene compliance (HHC) is vital for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)....
To determine whether observation and feedback influences HHC among nurses and doctors in surgical and medical wards, and whether these actions impact HAI incidence....
In this longitudinal observational study, HHC and the incidence of HAIs were observed in six medical and seven surgical wards in a tertiary hospital in Finland from May 2013 to December 2020. Data of ...
HH monitoring included 24,614 observations among nurses and 6396 observations among doctors. In medical wards, HHC rates increased 10.8%, from 86.2% to 95.5%, and HAI incidence decreased from 15.9 to ...
Direct observations and feedback of HH increased HHC significantly among nurses and doctors over an eight-year period. During the same period, the incidence of HAIs significantly decreased in both med...
