Hand hygiene (HH) is the single most important measure in reducing the burden of healthcare-acquired infections. Based on 12,740 HH opportunities observed during 6 consecutive years at our tertiary care center, HH adherence among healthcare workers (HCWs) was significantly better during influenza season compared to non-influenza periods, after controlling for important covariables (odds ratio = 1.17, 95% confidence interval 1.05-1.30). This finding suggests that HH awareness is increased during influenza periods, which could have implications for HCW education.
手卫生（HH）是降低医疗保健相关感染负担的最重要措施。基于我们的三级护理中心连续 6 年观察到的 12740 次 HH 机会，在控制重要协变量后，医护人员（HCWs）在流感季节的 HH 依从性明显好于非流感期间（比值比=1.17，95%置信区间为 1.05-1.30）。这一发现表明，在流感期间，HCW 的 HH 意识增强，这可能对 HCW 教育产生影响。
