摘要
A pre- and postintervention study was conducted to evaluate the impact of a new hand hygiene (HH) teaching module on the knowledge and attitudes amongst medical students towards HH. The teaching module significantly improved knowledge about HH indications and duration (T1 = 7.9, T2 = 9.2, T3 = 9.1; P = 0.001), the use of HH materials (T1 = 1.3, T2 = 3.8, T3 = 4.3; P = 0.004), and the 'Five Moments for HH' (T1 = 3.1, T2 = 6.7, T3 = 5.9; P = 0.012). It also improved the students' attitudes towards HH (T1 = 48.5, T2 = 56.2, T3 = 54.1; P = 0.04). Additional studies are warranted to evaluate the impact of this intervention on actual HH compliance of medical students. (C) 2017 The Healthcare Infection Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
