The aim of this study was to determine the habit of handwashing among health care workers in the intensive care unit of hospitals' general surgery department.
Potential handwashing opportunities were detected and observations were recorded. Handwashing habit of health care workers was monitored for over 1710 min., during 30 min. observation periods.
In this study which had 1710 minutes of observation period, the overall habit of handwashing of the medical staff was 23%. Compliance among physicians, nurses and other health care workers were 12%, 34% and 19% respectively (p<0.05).
The handwashing habit of healthcare workers in our unit is unacceptably low. We believe that introduction of social pressure models will help to improve handwashing awareness of the health care worker.
本研究的目的是确定医院普通外科重症监护病房医护人员的洗手习惯。
检测潜在的洗手机会并记录观察结果。在30分钟的观察期内，对医护人员的洗手习惯进行了超过1710分钟的监测。
在本观察期为1710分钟的研究中，医务人员的总体洗手习惯为23%。医生、护士和其他医护人员的依从率分别为12%、34%和19%（p<0.05）。
我们科室医护人员的洗手习惯低得令人无法接受。我们认为引入社会压力模式将有助于提高医护人员的洗手意识。
