Background. The objective of this study was to assess the compliance of hand hygiene (HH) of healthcare workers (HCWs) in the neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit in a tertiary university hospital in Istanbul. Methods. An observational study was conducted on the compliance of HH for the five World Health Organization (WHO) indications. HCWs were observed during routine patient care in day shift. The authors also measured the technique of HH through hand washing or hand hygiene with alcohol-based disinfectant. Results. A total of 704 HH opportunities were identified during the observation period. Overall compliance was 37.0% (261/704). Compliance differed by role: nurses (41.4%) and doctors (31.9%) [P = 0.02, OR: 1.504, CI 95%: 1.058-2.137]. HCWs were more likely to use soap and water (63.6%) compared to waterless-alcohol-based hand hygiene (36.3%) [P < 0.05]. Conclusion. Adherence to hand hygiene practice and use of alcohol-based disinfectant was found to be very low. Effective education programs that improve adherence to hand hygiene and use of disinfectants may be helpful to increase compliance.
背景。本研究的目的是评估伊斯坦布尔一所三级大学医院新生儿及儿科重症监护病房医护人员的手卫生(HH)依从性。方法。针对世界卫生组织(WHO)规定的五项指征对手卫生依从性开展了一项观察性研究。在日班常规患者护理期间对医护人员进行观察。作者还通过洗手或使用含酒精消毒剂进行手卫生来测定手卫生技术。结果。在观察期内共识别出704次手卫生时机。总体依从率为37.0%(261/704)。依从性因角色而异:护士为41.4%,医生为31.9%[P = 0.02,比值比:1.504,95%置信区间:1.058 - 2.137]。与使用无水酒精类手卫生产品相比,医护人员更倾向于使用肥皂和水(63.6%)[P < 0.05]。结论。发现手卫生实践的依从性以及含酒精消毒剂的使用非常低。开展有效的教育项目以提高手卫生依从性和消毒剂使用可能有助于提高依从率。
