To investigate the perception and attitude of health professionals (HPs) about the patient participation in hand hygiene (HH).
A cross-sectional study with 150 HPs from a university hospital in Brazil. A descriptive analysis was conducted.
Simple hand hygiene was the preferred method of HPs, rather than hand rubbing with alcohol-based solutions. A total of 83.3% of the HPs supported the patient participation in reminding them about HH, but 48% reported that they would feel uncomfortable; 45.3%, comfortable; and 20.7% were familiar with the "Patients for Patient Safety" program.
HPs showed limited knowledge about HH, opposing recommendations on the topic. The contradiction between the HPs acceptance and attitude when questioned by the patient regarding HH was revealed, reflecting a lack of knowledge about the WHO program and the need to implement educational practices in health.
调查卫生专业人员(HPs)对患者参与手部卫生(HH)的认知和态度。
对巴西一家大学医院的150名卫生专业人员进行横断面研究。进行描述性分析。
简单的手部卫生是卫生专业人员首选的方法,而不是使用含酒精溶液擦手。共有83.3%的卫生专业人员支持患者参与提醒他们进行手部卫生,但48%的人表示会感到不舒服;45.3%的人感觉舒适;20.7%的人熟悉“患者参与患者安全”项目。
卫生专业人员对手部卫生的知识有限,与该主题的建议相悖。揭示了卫生专业人员在被患者问及手部卫生时接受度与态度之间的矛盾,反映出对世界卫生组织项目缺乏了解以及在卫生领域实施教育实践的必要性。
