Sažetak
Introduction. Hand Hygiene Compliance in a Nursing Home.Background.The number of population aged over 65 is increasing, which results in the increase of elderly persons being placed in nursing homes. In this population an increased risk of healthcare-associated infections arises due to associated chronic diseases,and the specifics of institutional accommodation which emphasize Bellmann-Weiler i Weiss. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in hand hygiene compliance among healthcare staff before and after the education sessions. Methods. Proper hand hygiene procedures observed before and after the education. To determine the difference between the proportions between two independent samples, the Fisher's exact test was used. Results. Before the training hand hygiene was performed in 50 (19.5%) indications, whereas after the training hand hygiene was performed in 300 (53.1%) indications (p <0.001). Conclusion. Adherence to hand hygiene in the nursing home was extremely low, but after the education intervention, a significant improvement was observed.
