ABSTRACT
Our study aimed at assessing the determinants of hand hygiene and utilisation of bathing facilities in healthcare facilities (HCFs) in the greater Kampala metropolitan area, Uganda. Results indicate that 19.9% of the respondents wished to wash hands and failed while 39.3% faced challenges related to bathing. Failure to wash hands was associated with received information on hand washing (APR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.06–1.24), using piped water (APR = 0.88, 95%CI: 0.78–0.98) or a well as the main water source at the HCF (APR = 1.21,95% CI: 1.03–1.42). Experiencing challenges of bathing was associated with accessing healthcare services at a hospital (APR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.81–0.97) and using public HCF (APR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01–1.120). There is urgent need to improve hand hygiene and bathing facilities though providing reliable water and soap.

摘要
我们的研究旨在评估乌干达大坎帕拉都会区医疗机构 (HCF) 中手部卫生和洗浴设施使用的决定因素。结果表明,19.9% 的受访者希望洗手但失败了,而 39.3% 的受访者面临与洗澡有关的挑战。不洗手与收到的洗手信息有关(APR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.06–1.24),使用自来水(APR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.78–0.98)或井作为主要水源在 HCF (APR = 1.21,95% CI: 1.03–1.42)。沐浴的挑战与在医院获得医疗保健服务(APR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.81–0.97)和使用公共 HCF(APR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01–1.120)有关。通过提供可靠的水和肥皂,迫切需要改善手部卫生和洗浴设施。
