Sustained increase in resident meal time hand hygiene through an interdisciplinary intervention engaging long-term care facility residents and staff. O'Donnell, M., Harris, T., Horn, T., Midamba, B., Primes, V., Sullivan, N., Shuler, R., Zabarsky, T., F., Deshpande, A., Sunkesula, V., C., Kundrapu, S., & Donskey, C., J. American Journal of Infection Control, 43(2):162-164, 2, 2015. abstract bibtex Hand hygiene by patients may prevent acquisition and dissemination of health care-associated pathogens, but limited efforts have been made to engage patients in hand hygiene interventions. In a long-term care facility, we found that residents were aware of the importance of hand hygiene, but barriers, such as inaccessible products or difficult to use products, limited compliance. A dramatic and sustained improvement in meal time hand hygiene was achieved through engagement of staff and residents.
