HUBUNGAN PENGETAHUAN DENGAN PERSEPSI KEPATUHAN HAND HYGIENE MAHASISWA PROGRAM STUDI NERS UNIVERSITAS ‘AISYIYAH YOGYAKARTA

Background: The fifth goal of patient safety establishing hand hygiene as one effective way to prevent and control Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). Of the efforts to support the successful implementation of hand hygiene is the obedience, knowledge and perceptions of nurse students who are practicing in hospitals. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the association of knowledge with the perception of hand hygiene compliance of ners students of Aisyiyah University Yogyakarta. Methods: The study design was descriptive correlational. The sample in this study were 40 nurse students of ‘Aisyiyah University Yogyakarta 2017/2018 academic year by purposive sampling technique. The instrument in this study used a questionnaire, then analyzed with Kendal Tau. Results: The association between knowledge and perception toward hand hygiene compliance was not significant (p= 0.611 (> 0.05). p value > 0.05 indicates no relationship between knowledge level and perception of hand hygiene compliance. Conclusion: There is no association between knowledge and perception of hand hygiene compliance of ners students of 'Aisyiyah University Yogyakarta. The suggestion in this study is to prepare students to behave obediently to do hand hygiene through the learning process in the classroom.

Gym Routine Infection Prevention program’s (G.R.I.P.) purpose was to establish a monitoring program for hand hygiene and equipment disinfection in six rehabilitation/ complex continuing care gymnasiums. Our goal was to create a safe environment by preventing acquisition of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) by promotion of infection prevention and control (IPAC) best practices with a focus on hand hygiene compliance and the cleaning and disinfection of shared equipment. A customized tool was created that revealed hand hygiene compliance was 76% before patient contact and 96% after patient contact and cleaning shared equipment before patient use was 79% and after use was 90%

It is recognised that early intervention in healthcare workers’ education is important in terms of embedding effective infection prevention and control knowledge into practice. One of the most important aspects of this education is hand hygiene compliance and technique expectations. This small study was undertaken in collaboration with the University of Dundee, School of Nursing and Midwifery and NHS Tayside. It explored the differences in knowledge, attitudes and practice towards hand hygiene among second and third year student nurses with the aim of reviewing and informing the development of future educational material at undergraduate level in order to continually enhance knowledge and skills and bridge the theory–practice gap. This study concluded that third year student nurses did have a slightly better knowledge base than the second years and that although knowledge, attitudes and practice were reported to be of a good standard overall, there were still some important issues that must be addressed.

Background: Hand hygiene a cornerstone in infection prevention and control lacks quality in the EMS. Improvement is complicated and includes both individual and institutional aspects. However, little is known about EMS providers' perception and motivational factors leading to a high-quality hand hygiene. We aimed to describe 1) EMS providers’ perception on hand hygiene, 2) practical measures’ feasibility to improve compliance and 3) motivational factors related to high-quality hand hygiene among the cohort. Methods: A cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items (developed from WHOs Perception Survey for Health-Care Workers) provided information on demographics, improvement feasibility of practical measures, and various subjective, normative and control beliefs among EMS providers from Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Australia. Results: Overall, 933 questionnaires were returned (response rate 15%). Most respondents were advanced-care providers, male and had > 5 years EMS experience. In total, 61% received hand hygiene training < 3 years ago, and 93% perceived hand hygiene a routine. Most perceived access to hand hygiene supplies, and training and education as feasible practical measures to improve overall hand hygiene compliance. The majority acknowledged the scope and severity of health-care associated infections and the preventive effect of hand hygiene. Overall, 55% believed that hand hygiene was an organizational priority, 26% that it was important to their managers, 36% to colleges, and 58% to patients. Also, 44% perceived their colleges' hand hygiene compliance high (≥ 80% compliance rate), 71% perceived hand hygiene relatively easy to perform. Organizational priority, peer pressure, and self-efficacy were separately associated with self-reported high-quality hand hygiene. Conclusions: Hand hygiene supplies, simple and clear instructions, and training and education are highly warranted. Moreover, organizational priority, role models, and self-efficacy are motivational components with the potential to empower hand hygiene compliance within this cohort. Future interventional studies are needed to investigate the effect of a multimodal improvement strategy including both practical and behavioral aspects.

Background Hand hygiene is a vital intervention to reduce health-care associated infections, but compliance remains low. The authors hypothesized that improvements in intraoperative hand hygiene compliance would reduce transmission of bacteria to surgical patients and reduce the incidence of postsurgical healthcare-associated infections. Methods The authors performed a controlled before-and-after study over 2 consecutive months. One hundred fourteen operative cases were enrolled. Two predesignated sites on the anesthesia machine were selected, decontaminated, and cultured via aseptic technique. These sites and the peripheral intravenous stopcock were cultured again after completion of the surgery. The treatment phase used a novel personal hand-decontamination device capable of recording hand-decontamination events. Results There were no significant differences in patient location, age, or case duration and procedure type between groups. Use of the Sprixx GJ device (Harbor Medical Inc., Santa Barbara, CA) increased hourly hand decontamination events by 27-fold as compared with baseline rates (P < 0.002; 95% confidence interval, 3.3-13.4). Use of the device was associated with a reduction in contamination in the anesthesia work area and peripheral intravenous tubing. Intravenous tubing contamination was identified in 32.8% of cases in the control group versus 7.5% in the treatment group (odds ratio, 0.17; 95% confidence interval, 0.06-0.51; P < 0.01). Healthcare-associated infections rates were reduced in the device group (3.8%) as compared with the control group (17.2%) (odds ratio, 0.19; 95% confidence interval, 0.00-0.81; P = 0.02). Conclusions Improved hand hygiene compliance through the use of a novel hand sanitation strategy reduces the risk of intraoperative bacterial transmission. The intervention was associated with a reduction in healthcare-associated infections.
