INTRODUCTION
Nosocomial infections due to poor hand hygiene are a major cause of increasing morbidity, mortality, and health care costs among hospitalized patients worldwide. Hand hygiene is mandatory to prevent the transmission of health care associated infections especially where infectious diseases are common like Sub-Saharan Africa. Hand washing compliance among health professionals in general is unacceptably low especially in developing countries like Ethiopia.
METHOD
Institution-based cross-sectional study design was used to assess the knowledge and practice of hand washing among health professionals working in Dubti Referral Hospital. Structured self-administered pretested questionnaires were used. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 23.
RESULT
Out of 91 respondents, majority, 60 (65.9%), of them were knowledgeable and 31 (34.1%) were not knowledgeable. However, the majority of health professionals, 51 (56.0%), had poor practice and 40 (43.0%) of them had good practice of hand washing.
CONCLUSION
Majority of health professionals were knowledgeable. However, they had poor practice of hand washing.
引言
全球范围内，因手部卫生不良导致的医院感染是住院患者发病率、死亡率上升以及医疗成本增加的主要原因。手部卫生对于预防医疗保健相关感染的传播至关重要，尤其是在撒哈拉以南非洲等传染病常见的地区。总体而言，卫生专业人员的洗手依从性低得令人无法接受，在埃塞俄比亚等发展中国家尤为如此。
方法
采用基于机构的横断面研究设计，以评估在杜比转诊医院工作的卫生专业人员的洗手知识和实践情况。使用了经过预测试的结构化自填式问卷。所获得的数据使用SPSS 23版进行分析。
结果
在91名受访者中，大多数，即60名（65.9%），具备相关知识，31名（34.1%）不具备相关知识。然而，大多数卫生专业人员，即51名（56.0%），洗手实践较差，40名（43.0%）洗手实践良好。
结论
大多数卫生专业人员具备相关知识。然而，他们的洗手实践较差。
