This study investigated the effectiveness of targeting hand hygiene technique using a new training device that provides objective, personal and quantitative feedback. One hundred and thirty-six healthcare workers in three Hungarian hospitals participated in a repetitive hand hygiene technique assessment study. Ultraviolet (UV)-labelled hand rub was used at each event, and digital images of the hands were subsequently taken under UV light. Immediate objective visual feedback was given to participants, showing missed areas on their hands. The rate of inadequate hand rubbing reduced from 50% to 15% (P < 0.001). However, maintenance of this reduced rate is likely to require continuous use of the electronic equipment.
本研究调查了使用一种能提供客观、个性化和定量反馈的新型训练设备来针对手部卫生技术的有效性。匈牙利三家医院的136名医护人员参与了一项重复性手部卫生技术评估研究。每次活动都使用了紫外线(UV)标记的擦手液,随后在紫外线下拍摄手部的数字图像。向参与者提供即时的客观视觉反馈,显示他们手上遗漏的区域。手部擦拭不充分的比例从50%降至15%(P<0.001)。然而,要维持这种降低后的比例可能需要持续使用该电子设备。
