INTRODUCTION In India, due to manpower constraints, patients' family members are often actively involved in healthcare activities of their near and dear ones. They have significant contact with the patient at all World Health Organization (WHO) 'five moments for hand hygiene'. This study analysed the impact of decade-long awareness campaigns on the hand hygiene compliance (HHC) by our patients' carers. METHODS Trained infection control nurses observed the HHC at each of the five moments for patients' attendants in different hospital settings from January 2014 to December 2018. Compliance was calculated as percentage of events divided by total opportunities. FINDINGS A total of 7302 opportunities were observed with an overall compliance of 46.1% (35.5% in 2014 to 48.2% in 2018, P < 0.0001). Compliance at WHO moments 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 was 51.0%, 47.4%, 67.6%, 48.8%, and 24.3% respectively. Among family members, mothers of newborns had a much higher HHC (77%) than others (44.5%) (P < 0.0001). Also, the compliance was higher in medical versus surgical wards and in paediatric wards versus adult wards (P < 0.0001 in both). CONCLUSION This is the first study on family members' HHC in a hospital setting in a low- and middle-income country. The study shows that family members, once trained, exhibit fairly good HHC while caring for their patients, especially mothers of newborns. It is worthwhile empowering and educating patient attendants about the importance and process of hand hygiene as it is likely to result in immense benefit for patients.

印度患者家属的手部卫生合规性:对医疗人员非正式的“第四类”教育的重要性。

引言在印度,由于人手的限制,患者家属经常积极参与其近亲和亲人的医疗保健活动。他们在世界卫生组织(WHO)的“五个时刻的手部卫生保健”中都与患者保持着密切联系。这项研究分析了长达十年的意识运动对我们患者护理人员的手部卫生合规性(HHC)的影响。方法2014年1月至2018年12月,受过培训的感染控制护士在不同医院环境中的患者服务员在五个时刻中的每一个时刻都观察到HHC。依从性以事件百分比除以总机会来计算。调查结果共观察到7302个机会,总体达标率为46.1%(2014年为35.5%,2018年为48.2%,P <0.0001)。世卫组织第1、2、3时刻的遵守情况 4和5分别为51.0%,47.4%,67.6%,48.8%和24.3%。在家庭成员中,新生儿母亲的HHC(77%)比其他人(44.5%)高得多(P <0.0001)。同样,在医疗病房与外科病房以及在儿科病房与成人病房之间的依从性更高(两者均P <0.0001)。结论这是在低收入和中等收入国家医院环境中家庭成员的HHC的首次研究。研究表明,家庭成员一旦接受培训,在照顾患者,尤其是新生儿母亲时,会表现出相当好的HHC。值得赋权和教育患者服务人员有关手部卫生的重要性和过程的知识,因为这很可能会给患者带来巨大的好处。新生儿的母亲的HHC(77%)比其他母亲(44.5%)高得多(P <0.0001)。同样,在医疗病房与外科病房以及在儿科病房与成人病房之间的依从性更高(两者均P <0.0001)。结论这是在中低收入国家医院环境中家庭成员HHC的首次研究。研究表明,家庭成员一旦接受培训,在照顾患者,尤其是新生儿母亲时,会表现出相当好的HHC。值得赋权和教育患者服务人员有关手部卫生的重要性和过程的知识,因为这很可能会给患者带来巨大的好处。新生儿的母亲的HHC(77%)比其他母亲(44.5%)高得多(P <0.0001)。同样,在医疗病房与外科病房以及在儿科病房与成人病房之间的依从性更高(两者均P <0.0001)。结论这是在低收入和中等收入国家医院环境中家庭成员的HHC的首次研究。研究表明,家庭成员一旦接受培训,在照顾患者,尤其是新生儿母亲时,会表现出相当好的HHC。值得赋权和教育患者服务人员有关手部卫生的重要性和过程的知识,因为这很可能会给患者带来巨大的好处。结论这是在低收入和中等收入国家医院环境中家庭成员的HHC的首次研究。研究表明,家庭成员一旦接受培训,在照顾患者,尤其是新生儿母亲时,会表现出相当好的HHC。值得赋权和教育患者服务人员有关手部卫生的重要性和过程的知识,因为这很可能会给患者带来巨大的好处。结论这是在低收入和中等收入国家医院环境中家庭成员的HHC的首次研究。该研究表明,家庭成员一旦接受培训,在照顾患者,尤其是新生儿母亲时,会表现出相当好的HHC。值得赋权和教育患者服务人员有关手部卫生的重要性和过程的知识,因为这很可能会给患者带来巨大的好处。
