Abstract

Hand hygiene(HH)of the health care personnels(HCPs) was the most effective method to prevent the transmission of healthcare associated infections. This study was conducted to measure and analysis the status of the HH compliance of HCPs. Data were collected by the direct observation methods of the World Health Organizations(WHO) using WHO's HH monitoring tool kits from 25th October to 31th December, 2010. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, cross analysis, multiple logistic analysis using the SPSS/PC 21 program. A total of 8,644 opportunities for HH were observed, and the overall HH compliance rate was 94.1%. HH rates of physicians was lowest(83.4%; OR: 0.209, 95%CI:0.174-0.252). HH rates were statistically different by the job titles(p<0.001), WHO's 5 moments(p<0.001). HH rates in registered nurses(p=0.003), and medical technicians(p<0.001) were statistically different by the WHO 5Moments. Jobs specific HH strategies and WHO 5Moments should be developed to increase the HH compliances of the HCPs.

의료기관 종사자의 손 위생 수행은 의료관련 감염의 전파를 예방하는 가장 효과적인 방법이다. 본 연구는 직종별 손 위생 수행 측정과 분석을 위해 세계보건기구(WHO)의 손 위생 수행 평가도구를 이용한 직접관찰방법으로 2010년 10월 25일부터 12월 31일까지 수행되었으며, SPSS 21.0으로 기술분석, 교차분석, 다중로지스틱분석을 하였다. 총 8,644 건의 손 위생 상황이 관찰되었고, 손 위생 수행률은 94.1%였으며 의사가 가장 낮았다(83.3%; OR:0.209, 95%CI:0.174-0.252). 직종별 수행률(p<0.001), WHO에서 권고하는 5개 상황(WHO's 5Moments)별 수행률은(p<0.001) 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 간호사(p=0.003)와 의료기사직(p<0.001)이었다. 본 연구결과 손 위생 수행률 향상을 위한 직종별 특성화된 손 위생 전략과 WHO's 5Moments에 따라 차별화된 전략 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
