Hand hygiëne compliance
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Nursing homes are environments highly favourable to the aquisition and spread of infection, with susceptible residents sharing common sources of air, food, water and health care. Good hand hygiëne is considered the single most important intervention to control the transmission of infectious disease in nursing homes. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention to improve hand hygiëne compliance in nursing homes in the Netherlands. A secondary aim is to study alternative means to measure hand hygiëne compliance, including monitoring pathogens in the immediate environment.
Doel van het onderzoek
An intervention in hand hygiëne should increase hand hygiëne compliance. An intervention will be implemented at two different moments to see which is more succesful.
Onderzoeksopzet
After the baseline, follow-up measurements will take place approximately 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after the intervention implementation.

Belangrijkste voorwaarden om deel te mogen nemen (Inclusiecriteria)
The organization needs to have a minimum of three and a maximum of four locations in the study. The location should have a minimum of two units. Each unit should have three or more nurses or nurse aids (MBO-3 level or higher) on staff between 7 am and 12 noon. The units need to be somatic, psychogeriatric or psychiatric units. If the units themselves are not large enough (or the location is not large enough), units (or small locations) can be combined.
The organization needs to be responsible for supplying hand hygiëne products. If a unit is a combined unit with "long term health care" residents (verzorging), then it may be included if the organization takes responsibility for supplying hand hygiëne products to all residents. If the location has no "units", but is very large with a staff of more than 6 people that work throughout the units between 7 am and noon, then the entire location is considered the equivalent of two units.
Belangrijkste redenen om niet deel te kunnen nemen (Exclusiecriteria)
Long term health care centers (verzorgingshuizen) and home care situations are excluded. Rehabilitation units are also excluded. Organizations with fewer than three locations are excluded.
