Thousands patients around the world die every day because of infections when they get treatment. This is because the transmission of microbacteria from the hands of health workers. Hand hygiene is the most important aspect to prevent the transmission of microbacteria and preventing HAIs. Hand hygiene awareness of health workers is a fundamental behavior to prevent cross-infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hand hygiene compliance of nurse in Unit Hemodialysis of Hajj General Hospital Surabaya. Type of this research is descriptive research and observations by using a qualitative approach. Data retrieval on the research is an interview with nurse and audit hand hygiene. Research instrument using a questionnaire of hand hygiene and BSI knowledge, and hand hygiene audit form made by WHO. The population in this research was all nurses in Hemodialysis Unit General Hospital Surabaya Hajj that add up to 11 people. The results of this research obtained that compliance with hand hygiene Unit Hemodialysis nurse is 35%. The compliance were still less and has not reached the standards established by the PPI Hajj General Hospital Surabaya that is 100% and still has not reach compliance standards of WHO that is 40%. Hand hygiene compliance was low caused by the low participation of PPI base training and the lack of availability of hand hygiene facility in the Hemodialysis Unit General Hospital Surabaya Hajj. Advice from research were conducting on job training about how to perform hand hygiene and improve hand hygiene facilities in Hemodialysis Units. Keywords: hand hygiene, compliance, nurse

Nosocomial infections is still global public health problems. Along with the problems there are resistance bacterial problem to multiple classes of antibiotics, defined as multidrug resistance organisms (MDROs). Incidence rates of MDROs in ICU is higher than in other treatment unit. Rational antibiotic use and controlling the transmission of bacterial is important to avoid MDROs. The purpose of this study was to analyze Risk Differences of MDROs according to risk factors and hand hygiene compliance in ICU patients. This study used case control design with sample size was 20 patients for each case and control groups. Samples in cases group were patients infected by MDROs in ICU, while the samples in control group were patients in ICU didn’t infected by MDROs. The independent variable are long term use of antibiotic, length of stay, the use of ventilator, and hand hygiene compliance by health worker. Analyze data used OR (Odds Ratio) and RD (Risk Difference). The conclusion was that Risk Difference of MDROs infection by long term use of antibiotics (OR 10.23 95% CI 1.12 < OR < 93.35; RD = 0.47), length of stay (OR 7.36 95% CI 1.34<OR<40.55; RD = 0.44), the use of ventilator devices (OR 9.00 95% CI 1.64 < OR < 49.45; RD = 0.48) and hand hygiene compliance (OR 6.00 95% CI 1.46 < OR < 24.69; RD = 0.42). The conclusion was that maintaining hygiene before medical treatment, environment and health workers body should be implemented so can’t became a media for bacterial MDROs growth.Keywords: antibiotic,ventilator, length of stay, hand hygiene, MDROs

Abstract: Hands are the main route of transmission of germs during patient care. Nosocomial infection transmission can occur due to poor sanitation. Hand hygiene of health workers is very helpful in preventing the transmission of harmful germs and health care-associated infections. However, health workers still have less attention about the role of hand hygiene. This study aimed to determine the doctors and nurses’ compliance rate in implementing hand hygiene in Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. Samples were specialist doctors, residents, and nurses in IRINA A, E, and F. The general compliance rate of hand hygiene was 5,2%. Based on the profession, the hand hygiene compliance rate of doctors was 2.4% (n=21) and of nurses 6.6% (n=113). Based on the monitored time, the compliance rate before entering rooms was 3.02% (n=39) and after entering rooms 7.35% (n=95). Conclusion: Hand hygiene compliance rate among health workers was still low.Keywords: health workers, hand hygiene compliance rate Abstrak: Tangan merupakan jalur utama penularan kuman selama perawatan pasien. Penularan infeksi nosokomial bisa terjadi akibat sanitasi yang kurang. Kebersihan tangan tenaga kesehatan sangat membantu pencegahan penularan kuman berbahaya dan mencegah infeksi terkait perawatan kesehatan. Namun, pentingnya penerapan hand hygiene masih kurang mendapat perhatian oleh tenaga kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat gambaran kepatuhan tenaga kesehatan yakni tenaga dokter dan perawat dalam menerapkan hand hygiene di ruang rawat inap RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah observasional dengan desain potong lintang. Sampel meliputi dokter spesialis, dokter residen, dan perawat. Angka kepatuhan keseluruhan ialah 5,2%. Berdasarkan kelompok pekerjaan, angka kepatuhan dokter 2,4% (n=21) dan perawat 6,6% (n=113). Dari dua indikasi yang diamati, angka kepatuhan sebelum masuk ruangan 3,02% (n=39) dan setelah keluar ruangan 7,35% (n=95). Simpulan: Tingkat kepatuhan hand hygiene tenaga kesehatan masih rendah.Kata kunci: tenaga kesehatan, tingkat kepatuhan hand hygiene

Background: Over the past 10 years, a rural health system has tried 10 different interventions to reduce hospital-associated infections (HAIs), and only 1 intervention has led to a reduction in HAIs. Reducing HAIs is a goal of nearly all hospitals, and improper hand hygiene is widely accepted as the main cause of HAIs. Even so, improving hand hygiene compliance is a challenge. Methods: Our facility implemented a two-phase longitudinal study to utilize an electronic hand hygiene reminder system to reduce HAIs. In the first phase, we implemented an intervention in 2 high-risk clinical units. The second phase of the study consisted of expanding the system to 3 additional clinical areas that had a lower incidence of HAIs. The hand hygiene baseline was established at 45% for these units prior to the voice reminder being turned on. Results: The system gathered baseline data prior to being turned on, and our average hand hygiene compliance rate was 49%. Once the voice reminder was turned on, hand hygiene improved nearly 35% within 6 months. During the first phase, there was a statistically significant 62% reduction in the average number of HAIs (catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), central-line–acquired bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), and Clostridiodes difficile experienced in the preliminary units, comparing 12 months prior to 12 months after turning on the voice reminder. In the second phase, hand hygiene compliance increased to >65% in the following 6 months. During the second phase, all HAIs fell by a statistically significant 60%. This was determined by comparing the HAI rates 6 months prior to the voice reminder being turned on to 6 months after the voice reminder was turned on. Conclusions: The HAI data from both phases were aggregated, and there was a statistically significant reduction in MDROs by 90%, CAUTIs by 60%, and C. difficile by 64%. This resulted in annual savings >$1 million in direct costs of nonreimbursed HAIs.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None
