Hand hygiene is one of the fundamental measures necessary for reducing healthcare-associated infections. The adherence of health care workers to safe hand hygiene practices is low worldwide, despite evidence showing compliance with hand hygiene guidelines decreases infection rate. This project focuses on the role of patients in promoting healthcare workers' compliance with hand hygiene practices. Several plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycles were conducted to test interventions which aimed to empower patients and increase staff members' adherence to hand hygiene practices. The initial findings presented on the run chart demonstrate that compliance among healthcare workers increased with the interventions; there was an increase of 15% compliance during the 10 days of project testing. We will need to collect more data to show continued and sustained improvement. Patients can play an important role in promoting safe care and hand hygiene practices.
手部卫生是减少医疗保健相关感染所需的基本措施之一。尽管有证据表明遵守手部卫生指南可降低感染率，但全球范围内医护人员对手部安全卫生规范的依从性较低。该项目聚焦于患者在促进医护人员遵守手部卫生规范方面的作用。开展了几个计划-执行-研究-改进（PDSA）循环，以测试旨在增强患者能力并提高工作人员对手部卫生规范依从性的干预措施。运行图上呈现的初步结果表明，医护人员的依从性随着干预措施而提高；在项目测试的10天内，依从性提高了15%。我们需要收集更多数据以显示持续且稳定的改善情况。患者在促进安全护理和手部卫生规范方面可发挥重要作用。
