    Abstract:
    Objective To enhance the accessibility of hand hygiene (HH) facilities and HH compliance, and reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) of psychiatric patients in specialized psychiatric hospitals by designing and installing personalized HH facilities. Methods 12 wards in a tertiary first-class specialized psychiatric hospital in Beijing were selected. Personalized HH facilities were designed and installed at corresponding locations in the wards according to patients’ accessibility. Using direct observation method and with the installation date (February 1, 2024) of HH facilities as the node, HH compliance of hospitalized patients before (October 2023 to January 2024) and after (February to May 2024) the installation of facilities was investigated. Changes before and after the installation of HH facilities were evaluated. Results The compliance rate and accuracy rate of patients’ HH before HH facilities installation were 51.85% and 34.49%, respectively. While those after the installation were 59.96% and 46.26%, respectively, both higher than before the installation (both P<0.05). After the installation, HH compliance rates of patients before and after eating, before defecation and urination, before and after leaving the ward, before and after touching public goods, as well as before and after contacting with other patients or items were all higher than those before installation (all P<0.05). The compliance rate and accuracy rate of HH of male and female patients after installation were both higher than those before installation (both P<0.05). Conclusion The accessibility of HH facilities in specialized psychiatric hospitals is poor. HH compliance rate and accuracy rate of patients are low. Installing personalized HH facilities can enhance HH compliance rate and accuracy rate of patients while ensuring patients safety.

    Abstract:
    Objective To evaluate the impact of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) control culture construction on the hand hygiene (HH) compliance of health care workers (HCWs), and provide a basis for strengthening HAI management. Methods HCWs in a hospital in Xi’an City were selected as the research objects. On the occasion of World HH Day, a series of publicity activities on HH as well as HAI prevention and control were held. Pre-activities period was April 1-30, 2024. During May 1-31, 2024, a series of publicity activities on HH as well as HAI prevention and control were carried out. The post-activities investigation period was June 1-30, 2024. During December 1-31, 2024, HH compliance survey was carried out in batches in the whole hospital (including key departments). HH compliance at different stages was compared. Results After a series of publicity activities on HH as well as HAI prevention and control, HCWs’ HH compliance rate was improved. HH compliance rate of nursing staff increased from 70.15% to 85.11%; HH compliance rate of HCWs before contacting with patients increased from 47.83% to 78.38%; both with statistically significant difference (both P<0.05). During December 1-31, 2024, a batch survey on HH compliance of the whole hospital (including key departments) showed that the HH compliance rates of medical and nursing staff in key departments were higher than those of the whole hospital, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). HH compliance rates before aseptic operation and after contacting with patients in key departments were both higher than those of the whole hospital, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion Publicity activities on HH as well as HAI prevention control can improve HH compliance rate of HCWs. HAI managers should pay more attention to the general departments and improve HH compliance rate of HCWs.

    Abstract:
    Objective To explore the application of hand hygiene (HH) smart cloud system based on Internet of things (IoT) technology in the monitoring of HH in neonatal department. Methods Staff in the neonatal department of a hospital were selected as the research objects. Data about HH compliance rate from May 2021 to June 2022 were collected using the HH smart cloud system and compared with data recorded using the "direct observation method" during the same period. The impact of the application of HH smart cloud system on staff's HH compliance and data authenticity were analyzed. Results After using the HH smart cloud system, HH compliance rate of medical staff was 89.76%, which was lower than 92.73% recorded using the direct observation method during the same period, with statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). When comparing the HH compliance rates obtained by the two monitoring methods for staff at different job positions, nurse's HH compliance rate monitored by the smart cloud system was lower than that observed directly, with statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). HH compliance rates monitored by the smart cloud system were lower than those observed directly before and after contact with patients, before clean aseptic procedures, differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). HH compliance rates monitored by HH smart cloud system during different working hours showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.01). Daily consumption of hand disinfectants monitored by HH smart cloud system was 39.16 mL per bed. Conclusion Using the HH smart cloud system to monitor the HH of medical staff can obtain real and effective data.

    [Abstract](444) [HTML](2366) [PDF 1022.72 K](951)
    Abstract:
    Objective To understand the consumption of hand hygiene(HH) products and HH compliance in intensive care units (ICUs) of secondary and higher grade medical institutions (MIs) in Shanghai, and provide basis for further monitoring of HH among health care workers (HCWs). Methods Through healthcare-associated infection surveillance system, the consumption of HH products and HH compliance in ICUs from secondary and higher grade MIs in Shanghai in 2017-2021 were analyzed. Results 105 ICUs from 74 MIs were included in analysis, the average consumption of HH products was 79.24 (44.88-258.63) mL/(bed·day), with statistically significant difference among different types of ICUs (P < 0.001). The average consumption of HH products increased from 65.75 mL/(bed·day) in 2017 to 87.55 mL/(bed·day) in 2021, showing an increasing trend year by year (P < 0.001). HCWs' HH compliance rate was 82.13%, with the highest in nurses (86.59%) and the lowest (48.90%) in medical technicians, HH compliance rates of HCWs of different occupations were statistically significant different (P < 0.001). Among the implementation modes of HH, 39.86% used running water for hand washing, 42.27% used alcohol-based hand rub to wipe hands, 13.22% didn't take HH measures, and 4.65% didn't take HH mea-sures when wearing gloves, with statistically significant differences among different HH implementation modes of HCWs (P < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between the average consumption of HH products per bed·day and HCWs' HH compliance rate (r=0.703, P < 0.05). Conclusion The average consumption of HH products per bed·day and HH compliance rate of HCWs in ICUs in Shanghai presents an increasing trend year by year. There are differences in the average consumption of HH products per bed· day and HH compliance rate among different types of ICUs. The implementation of HH can be evaluated by continuously surveillance on the average consumption of HH products per bed·day.

    Abstract:
    Objective To study the compliance and correctness of hand hygiene(HH) of staff in intensive care units (ICUs) of a tertiary first-class hospital, and provide theoretical basis for HH intervention. Methods In April 2023, staff in 17 ICUs of this hospital were performed on-site survey by infection control staff, and monitoring forms about HH compliance and correctness were filled out. Results A total of 874 HH opportunities were observed with the concealed observation method, 501 HH opportunities were implemented, the compliance rate was 57.32%, 273 HH opportunities were correctly implemented, with an correct rate of 54.49%. The compliance and correct rate of HH among staff in different ICUs varied significantly. Compliance and correct rates of HH among staff with different jobs were statistically different: HH compliance rate of cleaners (31. 97%) was lower than that of nurses (63. 83%), doctors (58.77%) and other personnel (58.14%); HH correct rate of cleaners (30.77%) was lower than that of nurses (58.17%). The causes for not implementing HH among staff with different jobs and at different HH opportunities were statistically different: the rate of not implementing any HH measures after contact with patients (84.75%) was higher than before contact with patients (41.27%), before clean and sterile manipulation (30.00%), as well as after contact with blood and body fluid (45.45%). The rate of not implementing any HH measures after contact with the patient's surrounding environment (66.67%) was higher than before contact with patient as well as before clean and sterile manipulation. The rates of incomplete HH steps and insufficient HH time among staff with different jobs were statistically different: The rates of incomplete HH steps of other personnel (82.35%) was higher than that of doctors (52.63%). The rates of insufficient HH time of doctors (82.46%) and nurses (78.18%) were higher than that of cleaners (51.85%). Conclusion The implementation of HH among different occupational groups and at different HH implementation opportunities in ICU is significantly different, which should be intervened based on their characteristics.

    [Abstract](385) [HTML](2621) [PDF 970.98 K](1020)
    Abstract:
    Objective To explore the application effect of the "one before and five after" hand hygiene (HH) indicators in HH management of cleaning staff in medical institutions. Methods From December 2021 to January 2022, cleaning staff from a tertiary hospital were selected as the research subjects through convenience sampling method and randomly divided into three groups (control group, experimental group Ⅰ, and experimental group Ⅱ). The control group received training according to the World Health Organization (WHO) "two before and three after" HH indicators, while the experimental group Ⅰ received extensive training according to the "one before and five after" HH indicators, and the experimental group Ⅱ received precision training according to the "one before and five after" HH indicators. HH compliance rate, HH compliance rates for different indicators, and the distribution trend of HH moments among three groups of cleaning staff were compared. Results A total of 26 cleaning staff in the control group, 24 in the experimental group Ⅰ, and 18 in the experimental group Ⅱ were surveyed. HH compliance rates before training in the control group, experimental group Ⅰ, and experimental group Ⅱ were 31.30%, 27.18%, and 30.30%, respectively; and those after training were 43.11%, 59.26%, and 83.62%, respectively. After training, HH compliance rate of cleaning staff in experimental group Ⅱ significantly increased compared to before training, with a growth rate of 53.32% and statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). After training, HH compliance rate in experimental group Ⅱ was the highest (83.62%). The HH moment with the highest HH compliance rate of cleaning staff in experimental group Ⅰ was after unloading personal protective equipment (64.77%), and the lowest was before cleaning and disinfection (54.55%). Except after preparing tools, HH compliance rates of experimental group Ⅱ at other different HH moments after training were all higher than experimental group Ⅰ, differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). After training, the HH moment with the highest HH compliance rate of cleaning staff in experimental group Ⅱ was after the disposal of medical waste (90.72%), and the lowest was after the preparation of tools (78.33%). High frequency periods for HH behavior of cleaning staff were 6:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m and 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. Conclusion The "one before and five after" HH indicator is more suitable for monitoring and training on HH compliance of cleaning staff in medical institutions than the "two before and three after" HH indicators. "one before and five after" HH precision training can effectively improve the HH compliance of cleaning staff in medical institutions.

    Abstract:
    Objective To evaluate the impact of application of electronic monitoring system (EMS) on hand hygiene (HH) compliance of health care workers (HCWs). Methods "Health care workers", "electronic system", and "hand hygiene" were used as key words, Ovid, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, clinicaltrials.gov, China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), and Wangfang database were searched, effect and acceptability of EMS on HH compliance of HCWs were analyzed. Results 2 736 literatures were retrieved and 13 were included, 11 results showed that application of EMS could improve HH compliance, of which 9 studies detected an increase in the compliance rate ranging from 10% to 45%, 2 studies showed that the frequency of HH increased by 16.28 times and consumption of hand sanitizer increased by 2.215 liters respectively; the other study showed that the compliance rate decreased by 3.6%, and the compliance rate of one study basically did not change. The main reasons for HCWs' resistance to electronic system are infringement of privacy, impact on health and device defects. Conclusion Application of electronic system can improve the HH compliance of HCWs, but the potential impact of electronic system should be considered, in the future, effective implementation methods should be explored to correct the defects of electronic system and play a role to a greater extent.

    Abstract:
    Objective To explore the indications and opportunities applicable for hand hygiene (HH) monitoring of cleaners in medical institutions through risk identification and clustering analysis method, provide tools and stan-dards for the monitoring of HH compliance of cleaners. Methods The workflow and behavior of 50 cleaners were observed anonymously by random sampling method, 10 experts were selected to judge the workflow, risk belts were defined with risk identification tools, HH indications were determined by cluster analysis. Results Risk scores of 17 types of work behavior of cleaners met the standard of cluster analysis and had HH indications, the highest risk score was mopping object surface of each bed, toilet, corridor, and so on in the ward one by one (4.50±0.53) as well as wiping the sink, handrail, wall, windowsill, and so on (4.50±0.53). Cluster analysis showed that tool preparation, cleaning and disinfection, personal protection, medical waste and environmental sorting were 5 main behavior nodes. After further inductive analysis, it is determined that HH indications of cleaners were "one before and five after", that is, before cleaning and disinfection, after preparing tools, after cleaning and disinfection, after taking off personal protective equipment, after transferring medical waste and after environmental sorting. Conclusion The establishment of "one before and five after" HH monitoring indication system for cleaners in medical institutions not only provides applicable quantitative reference indication for HH training of cleaners, but also provides a reference tool for monitoring and intervention of HH of cleaners.

    Abstract:
    Objective To observe the effect of multi-modal hand hygiene (HH) intervention on HH compliance, as well as the relationship between HH compliance and the healthcare-associated (HA) case infection incidence. Methods From 2014 to 2022, the infection control team in a tertiary first-class hospital implemented multi-modal HH intervention for health care workers (HCWs). The changing trend of HH monitoring data, the correlation between HH compliance rate and HA case infection incidence were analyzed retrospectively. Results The consumption of HH products in the wards showed a stable upward trend; HH compliance rate increased from 64.98% in 2014 to 85.01% in 2022 (P<0.001), and HA case infection incidence decreased from 1.21% to 0.83% (P<0.05). HH compliance rate was negatively correlated with HA case infection incidence (r=-0.369, P=0.027). HH compliance rates in different regions and job posts in each quarter were increased (P<0.001). For 5 different HH moments in each quarter, HH compliance rate fluctuated slightly before sterile manipulation and after touching patient; presented rising trend after touching surroundings around patient, and decreased before touching patient and after touching patient's body fluid since 2020 (P<0.001). Conclusion Multi-modal HH intervention can improve the HH compliance of HCWs, improving their HH awareness is conducive to reducing HA case infection incidence.

Methods In September 1-30, 2019, information about the implementation of HH of doctors and nurses in general intensive care unit (ICU), departments of respiratory diseases, orthopedics, infectious diseases, pediatric outpatient and emergency, and hemodialysis room was obtained through on-site investigation by HH observers. The workload of surveyed departments, consumption of HH products and actual number of opened beds of medical institutions were investigated, compliance rates of HH and daily consumption of HH products were calculated. Results The examination and verification of HH survey data in 1 480 medical institutions were qualified, HH should be implemented 1 353 531 times, HH were actually implemented 1 076 639 times, implementation of correct HH was 891 185 times, compliance rate of HH was 79.54%, correct HH implementation rate was 82.77%. Compliance rates of HH in different scales of medical institutions were 76.26%-82.84%, which was lowest in those with 600-899 actual opened beds, correct rates of HH were 81.87%-84.01%, which was lowest in those with ≥900 actual opened beds. Compliance rates of HH in surveyed department were 76.80%-84.44%, which was lowest in departments of pediatric outpatient and emergency, correct rates of HH were 81.19%-84.98%, which was lowest in department of orthopedics. HH compliance rates at five HH moments were 67.59%-89.84%, which was lowest after touching patient surroundings, correct rates of HH implementation were 81.51%-86.76%, which was lowest after touching patient surroundings. Consumption of HH products in general ICU, departments of respiratory diseases, orthopedics, and infectious diseases were 56.62, 10.76, 9.50, and 14.54 mL/bed-days respectively, consumption of HH products in department of pediatric outpatient and emergency as well as hemodialysis room was 2.02 and 9.06 mL/person-time respectively. Among different scales of medical institutions, consumption of HH products in general ICU was highest in those with 600-899 opened beds (61.15 mL/bed-days), consumption of HH products in departments of respiratory diseases, orthopedics, and infectious diseases was the highest in those with >900 opened beds(13.61, 10.96, and 16.55 mL/bed-days respectively), consumption of HH products in department of pediatric outpatient as well as emergency and hemodialysis room was highest in those with 300-599 opened beds (2.53, 10.76 mL/bed-days respectively). Conclusion HH compliance rates and daily consumption of HH products in medical institutions of different scales obtained in this survey can be used as a benchmark, which provide a control system for the implementation of HH in medical institutions, so as to promote the continuous improvement of HH in medical institutions in China.

    Abstract:
    Objective To compare the economic benefits of electronic system-based monitoring (ESM) and manual paper-based monitoring (MPM) in hand hygiene (HH) compliance, and provide reference for HH monitoring methods in high-risk clinical departments. Methods Eleven high-risk departments, including pulmonary and critical care medicine, department of trauma and micro-orthopedics, pediatric intensive care unit, department of infectious diseases, department of joint and sports medicine, general ward of pulmonary and critical care medicine, department of neurology, department of neurosurgery, department of radiochemotherapy for esophageal and mediastinal tumor lymphoma, department of radiochemotherapy for head, neck and children's tumor, and department of hematology in a large tertiary first-class hospital were analyzed. A decision tree model was constructed using TreeAge Pro 2022 software to calculate cost-effectiveness, cost-efficiency, Hawthorne effect, and indirect cost-benefit of the cost input and effect output during the implementation period of the two monitoring methods from December 2022 to May 2023. Results The total cost of the ESM method was lower than that of the MPM method (4 868.55 Yuan vs 7 122.12 Yuan), but HH compliance rate of the ESM method was lower than that of the MPM method (61.33% vs 78.79%). The cost-effectiveness ratio of MPM method was higher than that of ESM method (9 039.37 Yuan vs 7 938.28 Yuan), with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of 17.46%. The cost-efficiency ratio of MPM method was significantly higher than that of ESM method (72 013.35 Yuan vs 8 813.45 Yuan). The Hawthorne effect of MPM method was higher than that of ESM method (59.45% vs 47.90%). The cost-benefit ratio of MPM method was lower than that of ESM method (2 894.70 Yuan vs 4 765.98 Yuan). When the payment willingness was less than 18 500 Yuan, the ESM method was the better option for cost-effectiveness; When the input exceeded this threshold, the MPM method was the better option for cost-effectiveness. Conclusion For high-risk infection control departments, the ESM method is superior to MPM in cost-effectiveness, cost-efficiency and cost-benefit, but there is no statistically significant difference in the Hawthorne effect between the two methods.

    Abstract:

    ObjectiveTo realize hand hygiene status and effect of handdrying measures on handwashing of health care workers(HCWs) in an intensive care unit(ICU). MethodsFrom February to April 2013, 210 HCWs in an ICU were selected and randomly divided into three groups, group A dried hands with paper towel, group B with hand drier,and group C with personal towel,specimens from hands before handwashing, after handwashing, and after handdrying were taken and performed detection.ResultsHand microorganism count in group A,B and C before washing hands after contacting patients was (29.10±15.08)CFU/cm2,(31.42±14.76)CFU/cm2 and (30.36±15.52)CFU/cm2 respectively, the difference was not statistically different(F=0.048,P>0.05); After sixstep handwashing, hand microorganism count before hand drying in group A,B and C was (3.26±0.61)CFU/cm2, (2.98±0.59)CFU/cm2  and (3.87±0.67)CFU/cm2 respectively,compared with hand microorganism count before handwashing,  the difference was statistically different(all P<0.01). After adopting different  handdrying methods, microorganism count in three groups was statistically different(F=1.892,P<0.05), group A ([1.29±0.58]CFU/cm2 )was significantly lower than group B and C, group B ([9.51±0.73]CFU/cm2 )was significantly lower than group C([22.76±4.11]CFU/cm2); the qualified rate in group A (90.00%)was significantly higher than group B and C, group B (68.57%)was significantly higher than group C (47.14%).The top 5 pathogens isolated from HCWs’ hands were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae,Escherichia coli,and  Coagulase negative Staphylococcus, these strains were highly consistent with the top 5 multidrugresistant organisms (MDROs) isolated from ICU patients in this hospital in 2013. ConclusionHCWs’ hands  are seriously contaminated after all kinds of medical performance; if hands are improperly dried,secondary contamination may occur; pathogens isolated from HCWs’ hands are highly consistent with MOROs from patients,timely and correct handwashing and  handdrying is the key link to ensure the quality of hand hygiene,and  is of great significance to reduce the occurrence of MDROs infection in ICU patients.

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 selfprotection among HCWs, HCWs with HH purpose of crossinfection 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 selfprotection may be an another way to improve HH compliance among HCWs.

    Abstract:

    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.

    Abstract:

    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 handtype and foottype 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 alcoholbased 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 alcoholbased 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 alcoholbased 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 alcoholbased 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 alcoholbased hand rub in other sections of ICU were all over 80%.ConclusionCompared with 2010, the equipping of hand washing basin, alcoholbased 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 healthcareassociated infection prevention and control.

    Abstract:
    Objective To investigate the knowledge, attitude and behavior(KAB)of hand hygiene(HH) among caregivers in a tertiary first-class children's hospital, and analyze the changing trend of KAB and its risk factors. Methods From January 2016 to December 2018, the implementation of HH among caregivers in a children's hospital was investigated by concealed on-site observation, bacteriological surveillance on HH was conducted, KAB of HH and its influencing factors were performed questionnaire survey. Results Caregivers' HH compliance rate was 71.10%, qualified rate of bacteriological surveillance on HH was 72.92%, there were no significant differences in the compliance rate and qualified rate of HH among caregivers in three years (all P>0.05). In 2016, caregivers' HH knowledge score and attitude score was correlated (P<0.05), but knowledge score and attitude score were not correlated to behavior score (both P>0.05); in 2017-2018, caregivers' HH knowledge score and attitude score were both correlated to behavior score (both P<0.05). Insufficient supervision of hospital, considering the irritation of skin by alcohol-based hand rub and caregivers' weak consciousness of hand-washing were main factors for lower scores of HH behavior. Conclusion The overall HH compliance rate in this children's hospital is relatively high, but there is still room for improvement, competent department should formulate feasible HH system and standards, and carry out the supervision on implementation, further improve HH compliance rate of caregivers and qualified rate of bacteriological surveillance.

    Abstract:
    Objective To understand Hawthorne effect on compliance rate of hand hygiene(HH) of staff of diffe-rent occupations, different departments and five HH opportunities, so as to provide basis for rational use of Hawthorne effect and improve HH compliance rate. Methods The direct observation method was adopted to investigate HH compliance of the same kind of population in different departments through routine survey method and concealed survey method, results were analyzed, the consumption of hand sanitizer and hand disinfectant used at the same period was investigated. Results Consumption of HH products in routine survey group and concealed survey group were 26.9 mL/bed-day and 27.5 mL/bed-day respectively, there was no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). HH compliance rates in routine survey group and concealed survey group were 79.7% (985/1 236) and 49.8% (646/1 298) respectively, difference was statistically significant (χ2=247.166, P<0.01). Nurses had the highest HH compliance rate, HH compliance rate of doctors in concealed survey group and routine survey group were 31.6% and 82.6% respectively, routine survey group increased by 161.4%. HH compliance rates were the highest in routine survey group before aseptic manipulation and in internal medicine group (86.5% and 88.7% respectively), HH compliance rates of concealed survey group after touching patient's blood and body fluid were both higher (69.2% and 78.5% respectively). Compared with concealed survey group, HH compliance rates before touching patients in routine survey group increased by 127.0% (81.5% and 35.9% respectively). Except for touching patients' blood and body fluid, there were significant differences in compliance rates of the other four HH indicators and different departments between two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion Concealed survey combined with the consumption of hand sanitizer and hand disinfectant can truly reflect HH compliance rate of staff in different departments and staff with different occupations, Hawthorne effect on HH compliance in routine survey group is higher, continuous stimulation through Hawthorne effect on practical work can be used to improve HH compliance rate of health care workers.

    Abstract:
    Objective To explore the evaluation methods of hand hygiene(HH) compliance. Methods HH compliance rate of health care workers(HCWs) in clinical technical departments of a hospital from 2011 to 2018 was investigated by direct observation method, consumption of HH supplies, including detergent and alcohol-based hand rub in all departments of hospital during the same period were investigated, HH opportunities per bed-day were calculated. Concealed survey combined with consumption of HH supplies was adopted to calculate HH opportunities per bed-day. Directly observed HH compliance rate was adjusted and Hawthorne effect was analyzed. Results HH compliance rate surveyed through direct observation method in 2011-2018 increased year by year (χ2=11 712.41,P<0.01), from 38.17% to 94.46%. According to the amount of consumption of alcohol-based hand rub and detergent each time, opportunities of HH per bed-day were estimated to be 12.41 in 2011 and 22.37 in 2018; consumption of alcohol-based hand rub and detergent per bed-day had good correlation with HH compliance rate (r values were 0.82 and 0.79, respectively, P<0.05). The adjusted HH compliance rates were 36.87%-69.10%, which were 1%-43% different from that of direct observation. Conclusion Consumption of HH supplies and HH compliance rate have good guiding significance for the correct evaluation on HH, and can avoid over-evaluation of HH compliance rate.

    Abstract:
    Objective To investigate the current status of hand hygiene (HH)compliance with concealed observation method, compare compliance rates of HH of health care workers (HCWs) obtained through concealed observation method, direct observation method and monitoring observation method, provide effective surveillance methods and means for further improving HH compliance. Methods Data about HH compliance and HH products consumption in a hospital obtained through monitoring observation method, concealed observation method, and direct observation method were collected, all observed HCWs have received unified training, the correlation among three me-thods and HH consumption were explored. Results Differences in HH compliance rates obtained by different observation methods were statistically significant (χ2=17.401, P<0.001). The direct observation method had the highest HH compliance rate at 95.08%, while the concealed observation method had the lowest HH compliance rate at 50.83%. The daily consumption of HH products was highest in department of neonatology, at 119.14 mL/bed-day, and lowest in department of pediatrics, at 10.39 mL/bed-day. The monitoring observation method (r=0.975, P=0.005) and the concealed observation method (r=0.949, P=0.012) had a good correlation with the consumption of HH products. The concealed observation method showed that the department with the highest HH compliance rate was department of neonatology, at 90.00%. Conclusion The actual HH compliance can be indirectly reflected by comprehensive monitoring observation method and the consumption of HH products per bed-day.
