Handrubbing with alcohol-based hand rub (AHR) is a validated alternative to handwashing. The aims of this study were to compare knowledge and declared use of AHR between different categories of healthcare worker (HCW), and to assess factors associated with the use of AHR. A standardized questionnaire was sent to all HCWs in a tertiary care university hospital. The following data were collected for each HCW: job title (physician, nurse, nursing assistant or other), sources of information about AHR; knowledge and perception of AHR and declared use of AHR in daily practice instead of unmedicated or antiseptic soap. Of 5238 questionnaires, 1811 were returned. Physicians had better knowledge about AHR than other HCWs. HCWs' knowledge of AHR efficacy and skin tolerance were independently associated with the use of AHR instead of unmedicated or antiseptic soap. The declared use of AHR differed according to professional category.
使用含酒精的手消毒剂(AHR)进行手部揉搓是一种经过验证的洗手替代方法。本研究的目的是比较不同类别的医护人员(HCW)对AHR的知识掌握情况和宣称的使用情况,并评估与AHR使用相关的因素。向一家三级护理大学医院的所有医护人员发送了一份标准化问卷。为每位医护人员收集了以下数据:职称(医生、护士、护理助理或其他)、关于AHR的信息来源;对AHR的知识和认知以及在日常实践中宣称使用AHR而非无药皂或抗菌皂的情况。在5238份问卷中,有1811份被返回。医生对AHR的了解比其他医护人员更好。医护人员对AHR功效和皮肤耐受性的了解与使用AHR而非无药皂或抗菌皂独立相关。AHR的宣称使用情况因专业类别而异。
