Healthcare-associated infections (HCIs) continue to affect patient morbidity and mortality and contribute to the rising cost of health care. Factors associated with the rise of HCIs in patients with cancer may include an increase in antimicrobial resistance and treatment effects of radiation and chemotherapeutic agents. Infection control and prevention practices can decrease infection rates among patients with cancer. In an effort to reduce HCIs and increase awareness, an interventional study was conducted at an oncology center to investigate hand hygiene compliance of healthcare professionals before and after the introduction of a handheld sanitizer spray. Although healthcare professionals had a positive response to the spray, it did not improve compliance rates.
医疗保健相关感染（HCIs）持续影响患者的发病率和死亡率，并导致医疗保健成本不断上升。与癌症患者中HCIs增加相关的因素可能包括抗菌药物耐药性的增加以及放疗和化疗药物的治疗效果。感染控制和预防措施可以降低癌症患者的感染率。为了减少HCIs并提高认识，在一家肿瘤中心进行了一项干预性研究，以调查在引入手持式消毒剂喷雾前后医护人员的手卫生依从性。尽管医护人员对喷雾有积极反应，但它并未提高依从率。
