Healthcare acquired infections are among the biggest unsolved problems in healthcare, implying an increasing number of deaths, extra-days of hospital stay and hospital costs. Performing hand hygiene is a simple and inexpensive prevention measure, but healthcare workers compliance with it is still far from optimal. Recognized hurdles are lack of time, forgetfulness, wrong technique and lack of motivation. This study aims at exploring gamification to promote nurses' HH compliance self-awareness and action. Real-time data collected from an indoor location system will provide feedback information to a group of nurses working in an ICU ward. In this paper both the research's motivation and methods is presented, along with the first round of results and its discussion.
医疗保健相关感染是医疗保健领域最大的未解决问题之一，这意味着死亡人数增加、住院天数延长和医疗费用增加。进行手部卫生是一种简单且成本低廉的预防措施，但医护人员对其的依从性仍远未达到最佳状态。公认的障碍包括时间不足、遗忘、技术错误和缺乏动力。本研究旨在探索游戏化以促进护士对手部卫生依从性的自我意识和行动。从室内定位系统收集的实时数据将为在重症监护病房工作的一组护士提供反馈信息。本文介绍了该研究的动机和方法，以及第一轮结果及其讨论。
