Abstract

BACKGROUND

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of mandatory, scheduled hand disinfection (HD) on actual absenteeism because of infectious illness in elementary school pupils in Denmark.

METHODS

A 3-month intervention study between 2 schools was performed on 656 pupils ages 5 to 15 years. The pupils at the intervention school (IS; n = 318) were required to disinfect their hands 3 times during school hours. Those at the control school (CS; n = 338) continued their usual handwashing (HW) practices, but they had been IS regarding mandatory HW the previous year. All absences because of illness were recorded, and data were analyzed statistically.

RESULTS

Comparison between the IS and itself (CS in 2007) demonstrated a significant difference (P = .018) in reducing absenteeism because of infectious illness, both for girls (P = .011) and boys (P = .029). The CS (IS in 2007) did not show any difference between 2007 and 2008 (P = .86).

CONCLUSION

Intervention with mandatory HW may have a lasting pedagogical effect in reducing absenteeism because of infectious illness when exposed to role models. HD could be effective in reducing absenteeism because of infectious illness and a well-placed supplement to HW.

摘要

背景

本研究旨在确定在丹麦的小学强制、定期手部消毒（HD）对传染性疾病实际缺勤的影响。

方法

在两所学校之间进行了为期 3 个月的干预研究，涉及 656 名 5 至 15 岁的学生。干预学校（IS；n=318）的学生需要在上课时间内消毒手部 3 次。而对照学校（CS；n=338）则继续进行他们通常的洗手（HW）习惯，但在前一年他们已经是 IS 了。所有因病缺勤都被记录下来，并进行了统计分析。
