RESUMEN
Objetivo. Analizar los resultados de un programa de formación sobre higiene de las manos en el personal de enfermería y comparar la eficacia del lavado higiénico de las manos con la aplicación de soluciones alcohólicas. Método. Se aplicó un programa de formación en higiene de las manos mediante talleres teoricoprácticos a personal de enfermería. La metodología docente se evaluó mediante una encuesta de valoración. Durante la formación se realizó un estudio prospectivo aleatorizado en 3 grupos, y se compararon los resultados del lavado de manos habitual, el lavado de manos tras la enseñanza de un protocolo y la aplicación de soluciones alcohólicas. Se recogió un cultivo de manos antes y después de cada intervención, y se analizó la reducción del número de unidades formadoras de colonias (UFC). A un cuarto grupo se le aplicó contaminación artificial y se valoró la efectividad del lavado de manos mediante la detección de restos con luz ultravioleta. Resultados. Se realizaron 73 talleres en los que se formaron 792 alumnos (462 enfermeras, 26 matronas y 304 auxiliares de enfermería). La valoración global del curso fue de 8,3/10 y la de los docentes de 9/10. El descenso medio de UFC fue de 100,7 en el grupo de lavado habitual, 100,3 en el de lavado según protocolo y 118,2 (p = 0,026) en el de solución alcohólica. Conclusiones. El programa de formación sobre higiene de las manos es un método de enseñanza bien valorado por el personal de enfermería. Las soluciones alcohólicas logran una mayor reducción del recuento bacteriano que el lavado de manos
ABSTRACT
Objective. To analyze the results of a hand hygiene education program in nursing staff, and to compare the efficacy of handwashing with and without the application of alcohol solutions. Method. A hand hygiene educational program was applied in nursing professionals through theoretical and practical workshops. The workshops were evaluated through a student satisfaction survey. During the training period, a prospective randomized study was performed and the students were divided into 3 groups. The results of routine handwashing, handwashing after the training period, and the application of alcohol solutions were compared. A hand culture was taken from all participants before and after each intervention and the reduction in the number of colony-forming units (CFU) was evaluated. In a fourth group, artificial contamination was performed and the effectiveness of routine handwashing was analyzed by detection of residual contamination with ultraviolet light. Results. Seventy-three workshops were imparted, with 792 students (462 nurses, 26 midwives and 304 nursing auxiliaries). Overall evaluation of the course was 8.3/10 and the trainers' score was 9/10. The mean reduction in CFU was 100.7 in the routine handwashing group, 100.3 in the group performing handwashing according to the protocol, and 118.2 in the alcohol solution group (p = 0.026). Conclusions. The hand hygiene training program was well regarded by the nursing staff. The reduction in bacterial count was greater when alcohol solutions were used than in other forms of handwashing
