ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of hand hygiene (HH) promotion on awareness, correctness and compliance rates of HH among health care workers(HCWs).MethodsHH promotion was started to carry out on May 8,2014, onsite questions, theoretical examination, and direct observation were adopted to survey the percentage of HH awareness, correctness of sixstep handwashing method, and compliance to HH among HCWs before and at the phase five of promotion implementation, results before and after implementing promotion were compared.ResultsAfter implementing HH promotion, percentage of HH awareness, correctness of sixstep handwashing method, and compliance to HH among HCWs increased from 42.50%,35.45%, and 24.00% to 87.12%, 68.60%, and 43.20% respectively,differences were all significant (all P<0.05).ConclusionHH promotion has strengthened HCWs’ HH awareness, standardized HH method, and enhanced compliance to HH.
ObjectiveTo understand hand hygiene(HH) compliance among health care workers(HCWs) and incidence of healthcareassociated infection(HAI) in surgical patients before and after the intervention, analyze the effect of HH on costeffectiveness of HAI. MethodsFrom December 2012June 2014, 78 HCWs in the department of neurosurgery of a hospital were as the intervention objects of HH compliance, 325 patients who underwent craniocerebral clean operation were as the surveyed objects, HH compliance among HCWs, incidence of HAI in surgical patients, cost of HH, and hospitalization expense before and after intervention were compared respectively. ResultsHH compliance among HCWs before and after intervention were 35.24% (216/613) and 73.75%(486/659)respectively (χ2=180.091,P<0.001); incidence of HAI in surgical patients before and after intervention were 31.85%(50/157)and 18.45%(31/168)respectively(χ2=7.782,P<0.001). Hospitalization expense before and after intervention were (89 524.90±38 856.70)¥ and (61 401.00±29 237.80)¥ respectively; average length of hospital stay before and after intervention were 36.70 days and 26.90 days respectively(t=3.296, 3.511,respectively, both P<0.01). ConclusionImproving HH compliance among HCWs can reduce the incidence of HAI and hospitalization cost, and shorten the average length of hospital stay of patients.
Objective To investigate the effect of different hand hygiene(HH) methods and hand drying measures on HH, and improve the quality of HH. Methods Health care workers(HCWs) in different departments of eight hospitals in Henan Province were selected as the surveyed subjects. HH methods and hand drying measures were observed, qualified rates of microbial detection of HH among different HH methods and hand drying measures were compared. Results A total of 699 HCWs were surveyed, 572 times of HH were performed, compliance rate of HH was 81.83%. Hand washing is the most common HH measure, accounting for 39.34%. The qualified rate of HH by alcohol-based hand rub was 97.92%, qualified rate of HH among different HH methods was statistically significant (χ2=20.203,P<0.001). The main HH measures was natural air drying (79.37%), proportion of drying by disposable tissue, automatic air dryer and other methods were 14.69%, 1.75% and 4.20% respectively. There was significant difference in qualified rates of HH after different hand drying measures (P=0.013). In hand washing group and hand disinfection after hand washing group, the qualified rate of using disposable tissue to dry hands was the highest, accounting for 80.70% and 96.30% respectively. Conclusion Application of alcohol-based hand rub is reliable for hand disinfection, the best way of hand drying is to use disposable tissue.
ObjectiveTo investigate compliance and influencing factors of hand hygiene (HH) among health care workers(HCWs).MethodsFrom November 2014 to February 2015, implementation of HH among HCWs in 15 clinical departments in a hospital was investigated through questionnaires, the effect of HH purpose on HH behavior of HCWs was analyzed with multivariate logistic regression method.ResultsA total of 364 HCWs were investigated, 245 (67.31%)of whom implemented HH well. Univariate analysis revealed that implementation of HH among HCWs of different occupations, education levels, and HH purpose were all significantly different (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HH purpose as well as HH compliance were both significantly different (P=0.042). Compared with HH purpose of selfprotection among HCWs, HCWs with HH purpose of crossinfection prevention had better HH behavior (OR,2.17[95%CI, 1.29-3.65]).The top five objective factors influencing HCWs’ HH implementation were as follows: lack of warm water in winter (70.73%), heavy workload,had no time (61.38%), skin irritation caused by disinfectant or hand sanitizer (54.88%), without hand dryer (47.56%), and use disposable gloves (45.12%).ConclusionOn the basis of improving HH facilities, changing HCWs’ awareness of HH only for selfprotection may be an another way to improve HH compliance among HCWs.

ObjectiveTo understand the status of hand hygiene(HH) of health care workers(HCWs) in a tertiary hospital in Zhuhai.MethodsHH compliance of doctors, nurses, and cleaners randomly selected from 15 clinical departments in the whole hospital was observed through concealed observation by medical interns in OctoberNovember 2016. ResultsHH compliance rate and correct rate of clinical departments in the whole hospital were 33.44%(1 131/3 382) and 59.86%(677/1 131) respectively, there was a significant difference in the compliance rate of HH among different types of HCWs (χ2=12.610,P=0.002),HH compliance rate from high to low was nurses (35.85%), cleaners (32.28%), and doctors (29.50%). Of five HH moments, HCWs’ HH compliance rate after patient’s body fluid exposure was the highest (69.74%), while after touching patient surroundings was the worst (25.03%). HH compliance rates of HCWs with different occupations at different HH moments were all significantly different (all P<0.05), HH compliance rates of doctors before aseptic procedure and after patient’s body fluid exposure were higher than nurses(71.25% vs 32.44%; 82.86% vs 69.78%, respectively), HH compliance rate of nurses was highest after touching a patient(40.06%).ConclusionHH status in this hospital is not optimistic, HH compliance rate and correct rate are low, HH compliance rates of HCWs with different occupations and at different HH moments are both different, which need to be improved.
ObjectiveTo investigate status of hand hygiene(HH) compliance among healthcare care workers(HCWs) in an organ transplant department.MethodsHH compliance among HCWs in an organ transplant department was investigated with concealed field observation once a week from January to June 2017, unified WHO HH observation forms were filled out, and SPSS 18.0 software was used for statistical analysis.ResultsA total of 37 HCWs were investigated, 380 times of HH should be implemented during observation, 86 times of actual implementation of HH was observed, compliance rate and correct rate of HH were 22.63% and 53.49% respectively. Difference in HH compliance rate among HCWs of different occupations was not significant(χ2=1.003,P=0.80). Difference in HH correct rate among HCWs of different occupations was significant(χ2=8.411,P=0.038);doctors had the highest correct rate of HH (88.89%), patient care workers had the lowest correct rate of HH(0). Among HH with different professional titles, correct rate of HH among associated chief doctors and attending doctors was highest(100%). There was a significant difference in HH compliance rate under different HH indications(χ2=15.082,P=0.005);compliance rate of HH after exposure to blood and body fluid was highest(27.27%), compliance rate before aseptic manipulation was lowest(9.91%). There was no significant difference in the correct rate of HH under different indications (χ2=7.150,P=0.128). There was no significant difference in HH compliance rate and correct rate among HCWs during different periods (both P>0.05). The main reason for the disqualification of HH of HCWs was inadequate time for rubbing (19 times, 47.50%) and the wrong method of rubbing (21 times, 52.50%).ConclusionCompliance of HH among HCWs in organ transplant department is low, compliance rate and correct rate of HH among HCWs of different occupations is significantly different, compliance of HH among HCWs needs to be improved, and corresponding effective intervention measures should be taken.
ObjectiveTo monitor hand hygiene(HH) compliance of health care workers(HCWs) with a new method, compare the advantage and disadvantage with direct observation method.MethodsFrom July to December 2016, HH compliance of HCWs in intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary hospital was monitored simultaneously by HH electronic monitoring system and traditional direct observation method, results of two monitoring methods were compared. ResultsICU was observed for 7 days (42 hours), 2 231 HH opportunities were recorded, a total of 4 532 HH opportunities in 7 days were estimated, total bedday was 23 days, the average HH opportunities required for HCWs in ICU was 197 times/bedday. From July to December 2016, HH compliance rate monitored by electronic monitoring system was 54.16% on average, which was lower than 77.72% of direct observation method (χ2=50.53,P<0.001). Cost of HH electronic monitoring system per hour (4.56 Yuan) was lower than that of direct observation method (20.78 Yuan).ConclusionCompared with traditional direct observation method, HH electronic monitoring system is more timesaving and laborsaving, data are more accurate and objective, and has a certain cost advantage in the economically developed regions.
ObjectiveTo understand hand hygiene(HH) compliance among nursing staff, and evaluate the effective strategies to improve HH compliance.MethodsHH compliance among 59 nurses in the internal medicine ward of a tertiary comprehensive hospital was investigated between January 2016 and June 2017, HH compliance rates of nursing staff with different professional titles and different working years were compared.ResultsHH compliance rate of 59 nurses was 69.6%, HH compliance rates of five moments for HH were: before touching a patient(59.7%), before clean/aseptic procedure(96.2%), after body fluid exposure risk (97.7%), after touching a patient(56.3%), after touching patient surroundings(42.0%). Difference in compliance rate of different HH moments was statistically significant (χ2=220.393,P<0.001). HH compliance rates among nurses of different professional titles after touching patient were significantly different(χ2=6.521,P=0.038). HH compliance rates of nurses with different working years before and after touching patient were significantly different(χ2=8.385,16.123,respectively, P<0.05).ConclusionThe overall HH compliance rate among nursing staff is low, management of HH compliance of junior nurses should be strengthened, and implementation of HH before and after touching patient should be emphasized.
ObjectiveTo design a concealed investigation scheme to control bias based on direct observation method, evaluate actual hand hygiene(HH) compliance among health care workers(HCWs).MethodsHH compliance among HCWs in 8 general hospitals in Beijing was performed concealed investigation in June 2016, data of HH compliance and correctness were obtained and conducted statistical analysis as well as direct standardization, then compared with HH surveillance data obtained by direct observation method in 2015.ResultsIn 2016, HCWs’ HH compliance rate and correct rate were 58.04% and 88.68% respectively. After direct standardization, ICU had the highest HH compliance rate (81.29%), emergency department had the highest HH correct rate (93.29%), neurology department had the lowest compliance rate and correct rate of HH (42.97% and 82.35% respectively); nurses had the highest compliance rate and correct rate of HH (69.02% and 92.84% respectively), cleaners had the lowest compliance rate and correct rate of HH (37.25% and 71.59% respectively); compliance rate of HH after contacting patients was the highest (71.79%) but correct rate was the lowest (88.76%), compliance rate of HH before cleaning/aseptic procedure was the lowest (43.08%) but the correct rate was the highest (93.50%). HH compliance rate of HCWs investigated by concealed method was lower than that by direct observation(P<0.05), and the extent of discrepancy in correctness was different.ConclusionHH compliance is different in the distribution of departments, personnel, and indication, it is necessary to strengthen intervention in key aspects of HH. There is a certain bias in results of direct observation on HH compliance, HH investigation methods need to be improved.
ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of hand hygiene(HH) facilities in China.MethodsA multicenter study was conducted to select different levels of hospitals (province, district, and county levels) and army hospitals in 14 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions). HH facilities in hospital wards were conducted field survey, installation of HH facilities in different sections of different wards in 2010 and 2016 were compared.ResultsThe total installation rate of hand wash sink in hospital increased from 69.30% in 2010 to 77.20% in 2016(χ2=37.68,P<0.01); in 2016, the faucet switch in hospital wards was mainly inductive (39.39%), follows by handtype and foottype switch, accounting for 29.65% and 17.67% respectively;the main way of hand drying was use of paper towel, accounting for 77.30%. The rate of hand drying by using paper towel increased from 38.45% in 2010 to 77.30% in 2016, rate of hand drying naturally fell from 18.65% to 8.04%. The total equipping rate of alcoholbased hand rub in hospitals increased from 50.47% in 2010 to 75.64% in 2016, difference was statistically significant(χ2=402.46,P<0.01). In 2016, equipping rate of alcoholbased hand rub in different sections of different wards were all significantly different (department of respiratory disease medicine: χ2=69.49,P<0.01;department of general surgery: χ2=66.97,P<0.01;intensive care unit [ICU]: χ2=88.52,P<0.01). The equipping rate of alcoholbased hand rub in treatment room was the highest (treatment rooms in departments of respiratory medicine, general surgery, and ICU were 89.50%, 88.50%, and 88.54% respectively), equipping rate of alcoholbased hand rub in patients’ rooms and corridor of common wards was lowest (about 60%). Except for the corridor equipping rate was 56.25%, equipping rate of alcoholbased hand rub in other sections of ICU were all over 80%.ConclusionCompared with 2010, the equipping of hand washing basin, alcoholbased hand rub, faucet switch, and hand drying method have improved significantly in 2016, but allocation of HH facilities is uneven in different wards, it is necessary to improve HH facilities to meet the requirement of healthcareassociated infection prevention and control.
ObjectiveTo explore the application efficacy of quality control circle(QCC) in hand hygiene(HH) management of laboratory staff.MethodsLaboratory staff in a hospital in Neijiang from January to December 2016 were selected as the studied objects, QCC group of HH management of laboratory staff was established, causes of correct rate of HH in laboratory staff were analyzed, corresponding countermeasures were formulated and implemented; data before and after performing QCC activity were compared and analyzed, efficacy of activities was assessed.ResultsAfter implementing QCC activity, correct rate of HH in laboratory staff increased from 29.73% to 91.04%, difference was significant(P<0.001). At the same time, circle members’ ability in QCC skill, responsibility, sense of honor, selfconfidence, cohesiveness were all promoted with varying degrees.ConclusionThe implementation of QCC activities can not only improve the correct rate of HH of laboratory staff, but also enhance team confidence and cohesiveness, it is worthy of further clinical application.
