Respect of the WHO’s hand hygiene opportunities on second year (“the five moments for HH in health care”)
| Variable | Control group n = 102 | Intervention group (Supervised personal feedback) n = 140 | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full compliance (all the HH opportunities performed) (%) | 42.4 | 58.1 | 0.018 |
| - Entry/before preparing the material (respect of moment 2) (%) | 100 | 100 | – |
| - Before touching the patient (respect of moment 1) (%) | 77.8 | 85.3 | 0.14 |
| - Before glove for puncture (respect of moment 2) (%) | 80.9 | 79.8 | 0.84 |
| - After gloves for puncture (respect of moment 3) | 74.7 | 80.9 | 0.26 |
| - After gloves for material evacuation (respect of moment 3) (%) | 76.8 | 81.6 | 0.36 |
| - After touching the patient before exit (respect of moment 4) (%) | 75.8 | 84.6 | 0.09 |
p-value: chi-2 Pearson test
The moments refer to the WHO’s indications for hand hygiene (“the five moments for HH in health care”)
Compliance at the entry is 100% in both groups because assessment of application of the AHR under UV light was done at this step
Each student was evaluated during the scenario-based learning for an arterial puncture (first attempt). On a standardized document, the tutor visually assessed and recorded their respect of the WHO’s hand hygiene opportunities during the simulation session
Full observance corresponded that the student performed all (6) the HH opportunities
