The influence of intelligent hand hygiene monitoring system on reducing the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of intelligent hand hygiene monitoring system on hand washing compliance and the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the hand hygiene compliance of medical staff and works at different seasons in 2018. The daily doses of hand sanitizer patients in each quarter of 2017 and 2018, the microbial contamination of the hands before the medical staff contacted the patients, the overall hospital infection rate and the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections were calculated and compared.Results:The hand-washing compliance rate of medical staff and workers were increased in 2018. Compared with daily doses of hand sanitizer patients in 2017 and 2018, there was significant difference ( F value was 4.99, P<0.05). In 2018, the qualified rate of microbial contamination in the hands of medical staff before contacting patients was higher than in 2017 91.5%(43/47) vs. 51.1%(23/45), there was significant difference ( χ2 value was 92, P<0.05) . The rate of hospital infection and catheter-related bloodstream infections were 1.57%(30/1 907), 0.5%(6/1 158) in 2018 and 3.11%(57/1 843), 1.6%(17/1 095) in 2017, there was significant difference ( χ2 values were 9.551, 5.959, P<0.05). Conclusions:The intelligent control hand hygiene monitoring system can improve the hand-washing compliance of medical staff and workers, reduce microbial contamination in the hands of medical staff, thereby reducing the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections.
