摘要
Introduction: Hand hygiene is the most effective measure for preventing infections related to healthcare. This study aims to evaluate the Hand hygiene compliance in Primary Health Care. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out, collecting socio-demographic data and the hand hygiene compliance from 198 Primary Health Care workers. Their hand hygiene compliance was evaluated according to WHO criteria. Results: The levelof hand hygiene compliance was 8.1% (95% CI 6.2-10.1). Employment experience of over 20 years was significantly associated with low levels of compliance. Conclusion: Primary Health Care workers have a low hand hygiene compliance. Training programs need to be introduced to increase compliance and facilitate access to hydro-alcoholic solutions. (C) 2009 Elsevier Espana, S.L. All rights reserved.
