Effective hand hygiene practice in a clinical healthcare setting is the most effective means to prevent, control and reduce healthcare-associated infections. Despite the introduction of hand hygiene practices and targeted campaigns, surveillance to ensure implementation of these techniques remains limited. Surveillance is widely accepted as an essential component to infection control campaigns. Therefore, we sought to design and test an easy-to-use surveillance instrument for hospital hand hygiene developed and piloted for three months in nine hospitals in China. This paper presents the resulting hand hygiene surveillance instrument as well as explicit guidelines for its implementation.
在临床医疗环境中，有效的手部卫生措施是预防、控制和减少医疗相关感染的最有效手段。尽管已推行手部卫生措施并开展了针对性活动，但确保这些技术得以实施的监测工作仍然有限。监测被广泛认为是感染控制活动的一个重要组成部分。因此，我们试图设计并测试一种易于使用的医院手部卫生监测工具，该工具在中国九家医院进行了为期三个月的开发和试点。本文介绍了最终形成的手部卫生监测工具及其实施的明确指南。
