Abstract:
Abstract Risk of neonatal mortality secondary to infections such as pneumonia and diarrhoeal diseases can be influenced by maternal hygiene, but little information is known about current maternal hygiene practices in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to assess the hygiene practices of mothers of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients in Lusaka, Zambia and associated epidemiological factors. A cross-sectional survey of the mothers of hospitalized neonates at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Lusaka was conducted. Study nurses orally administered questionnaires to mothers in their local languages about their hygiene practices related to newborn care. Of the 201 mothers surveyed, self-reported hygiene practice was associated with literacy (p = 0.013) and income (p < 0.0001). In contrast, adherence to recommended hygienic newborn care was less common, with only 36% of mothers practising recommended cord care practices. Forgetfulness (32%) and lack of hygiene resources (13%) were the major barriers to hygienic behaviours. Surveyed Zambian women who delivered babies requiring NICU care self-reported adequate hygienic practices and apparently faced difficulty practising them due to forgetfulness and a lack of hygiene resources. Future efforts should focus on improving cord care education, reinforcement of the importance of hygienic behaviours, and the supply of affordable antiseptic tools.

Abstract:
The problem presented in the article concerns the concept of hygienic care and the reasons for objectifying hygiene practices related to the body. The analysis of hygiene goals made based on a critical analysis of key publications and texts inscribed in the evolution of hygiene and educational activity was used to determine the methods of shaping hygienic body awareness in contemporary educational practice. The article attempts to define the common fields of influence of hygiene and pedagogy, draw attention to the reflective way of reading the canon of vital needs of children and adolescents to give them a pro-health meaning in the life cycle. The main conclusions resulting from the analyses carried out are: 1) departing in the education process from traditional thinking about hygiene, i.e. perceiving it as a set of norms and rules of purely medical origin (giving instructions, recommendations to guarantee hygiene safety, focusing awareness on prevention), 2) overcoming the model of preventive hygiene (negative, passive) for the release of hygiene care and education based on transgressive practices of caring for the body, 3) locating hygienic activity in the area of life skills, 4) inducing hygienic sensitivity based on the resources of the living environment and vital values.

Abstract:
Objective To assess hand hygiene compliance in selected primary hospitals in Ghana. Design A cross-sectional health facility-based observational study was conducted in primary health care facilities in five regions in Ghana. A total of 546 healthcare workers including doctors, nurses, midwives and laboratory personnel from 106 health facilities participated in the study. Main outcome measures The main outcome measures included availability of hand hygiene materials and alcohol job aids; compliance with moments of hand hygiene; and compliance with steps in hygienic hand washing. These were assessed using descriptive statistics. Results The mean availability of hand hygiene material and alcohol job aids was 75% and 71% respectively. This was described as moderately high, but less desirable. The mean hand hygiene compliance with moments of hand hygiene was 51%, which was also described asmoderately high, but less desirable. It was observed that, generally, hand hygiene was performed after procedures than before. However, the mean compliance with steps in hygienic hand washing was 86%, which was described as high and desirable. Conclusion Healthcare workers are generally competent in performance of hygienic hand washing. However, this does not seem to influence compliance with moments of hand hygiene. Efforts must therefore be made to translate the competence of healthcare workers in hygienic hand washing into willingness to comply with moments of hand hygiene, especially contact with patients.

Abstract:
As a result of the study, 74 patients with a diagnosis of dentition defects were made partial removable lamellar dentures from various structural dental materials. To identify the awareness of patients about the peculiarities of hygienic care for the oral cavity when using removable dentures, a preliminary survey of all respondents was conducted. The results of this survey demonstrated a low level of patient awareness of the specifics of hygienic procedures for the care of dentures. More than half of the respondents (52.4 %) did not have sufficient information about the rules and features of hygienic oral care when using removable orthopedic structures. Only 31 % of respondents cleaned removable dentures twice a day, more than half, 60 % cleaned the denture once a day. According to the results of the survey, 76.5 % of respondents revealed violations of the rules of personal oral hygiene. Additional hygiene products for the care of removable dentures in the form of cleaning tablets are used by 5.6 % of patients, 83.1 % of patients did not use additional hygiene products.

Abstract:
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a major contributor to death, morbidity, diminished quality of life, and growing healthcare expenditures. To protect patient health, it is crucial to reduce the risk of HAI by organising and putting into practice efficient preventative measures. The most important method of infection prevention generally agreed upon is hand cleanliness. Washing your hands can keep you healthy and stop the transmission of many respiratory and diarrheal illnesses. On any given day, 1 in 31 hospital patients develops an HAI while being treated. Hand hygiene is the simplest and effective method for the prevention of these. This study aimed to assess the hand-hygiene compliance among health care workers at GMC Anantnag and associated hospitals. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out among HCWs and 313 opportunities were observed using WHO tool for hand hygiene according to WHO “5 moments of hand hygiene.” The sampling technique adopted for selection of sample was non-probability convenience sampling. Out of total 244 opportunities of nurses, 181 (74%) had non-hand hygienic actions while 63 (26%) had hand hygienic actions. Out of total 59 opportunities of doctors, 29 (49%) had non-hand hygienic actions while 30 (51%) had hand hygienic actions. Out of total 10 opportunities of nursing aides, 9 (90%) had non-hand hygienic actions while 1 (10%) had hygienic actions. The overall hand hygienic observed among health care workers as per WHO Guidelines was 30 percent only. Nurses had an adherence rate of 26 percent, doctors 51 percent and nursing aids had 10 percent only. The present study showed low levels of adherence to best hygiene practices with overall compliance of 30 percent revealing that there is need to implement immediate strategies for infection control at GMC Anantnag and associated hospital.

Abstract:
This article presents an approach to analysis of women’s hygiene and beauty practices in the traditional Ukrainian society. As a key message, the article discusses female hygiene and body care as a historically determined, complex process, affected by popular beliefs stemming from people’s living, natural and, more specifically, climatic conditions. The author presents the rules of society, especially taboos, which influenced women’s hygiene as a special practice. Hence hygiene, body care and beauty standards are recognized as a function of specific social and cultural norms established for woman’s body. In addition, the notion of bodily health, hygiene and beauty was most closely tied to the popular view of «proper» and «improper» days for body care. For instance, ritualistic washing of the body was mandatory on the eve of major calendar holidays, especially Christmas and Easter, however, bathing, washing or sprinkling, practiced during these periods, had as its object rather some sacred than any hygienic purpose. Accordingly, on the days of traditional Christian fasting (Wednesdays and Fridays), it was forbidden to bathe, the same goes for Sundays and the time during certain calendar periods: on the eve of Whit Sunday festivities, Midsummer Night, also after Elijah’s Day or the Feast of Transfiguration. The emphasis was put on hygiene, standards of beauty, care, etc. as a construct of cultural and social norms, where the age and marital status of women would be of great importance. As woman grew older, she had to become more inconspicuous: excessive primping, self-care, and adorning were strongly condemned by the society of that time. Thus, it appears that all hygienic procedures of body and hair care were under the scrutiny of society, with imposition of a significant number of taboos, restrictions and precautions. Women had to follow all those precepts because otherwise they would be accused of violating sacred traditions.

BackgroundHygienic behavior as such belongs to health behavior, acquired at home, at school, at workplace or through the mass-media.ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to analyze the perception of personal hygiene among different age groups and the sociodemographic factors related to hygiene behavior.Material and methodsThe author’s questionnaire for children and seniors concerning selected hygienic behavior was used. The questionnaire was conducted in two groups: 200 primary school children in age: 8-11 years; 109 girls and 91 boys and 200 older people: young-old (60-74 years) and old-old (75+); 110 women and 90 men.ResultsGirls longer than boys take morning hygiene behavior, but statistically boys spend more time on evening washing, cleaning and brushing. Seniors hygienic behavior depend on age: young-old are more likely take a shower every day (51.79%) than seniors in the old-old group (29.86%). The same statistically significant difference was noticed in case of washing hands before a meal.ConclusionsChildren care more about personal hygiene than older people. Age, not gender, is a factor determining the frequency of hygiene practices among older people. Young-old care more about personal hygiene than old-old.

Abstract:
Health-care-associated infections (HCAIs) affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide, causing morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. About 2 million patients suffer from HCAIs in the United States, and it is estimated that 99,000 of them die each year. Studies have indicated that transmission of health-care-associated microorganisms occurs through contaminated hands of health care workers. Hand hygiene (HH) is the single most effective way to prevent health-care-associated infections, yet health care workers' hand hygiene compliance remains low. One factor responsible for poor compliance with hand hygiene guide-lines are lack of knowledge of good hand hygiene and lack of hand hygiene techniques. This project evaluated the effect of educational program on hand hygiene for intensive care unit (ICU) healthcare workers. The Health Belief Model was applied as the framework in this project. Key components of the model are perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, and perceived barriers. A convenience sample of 25 ICU healthcare workers participated in the educational program. Pre- and post- education surveys and tests were assessed using descriptive statistics. Results were consistent with existing findings indicating that education is needed to improve HH compliance and that effective HH reduces infections. The findings from this project may contribute to positive social change by promoting increased HH knowledge and infection prevention while decreasing complications of treatments, costs, morbidity, and mortality, thereby promoting a healthy and safe community.

Abstract:
Managed care has become a prominent mechanism for insuring dental care. Empirical research suggests that managed dental plans provide lower quality care to patients. However, few studies have specifically addressed the effects of managed care on the quality of dental hygiene care. Thus, in this study the researcher examines whether dental hygienists deliver a lower level of treatment to managed care patients than to those who are not subject to managed care. Questionnaire data were gathered from 193 members of the American Dental Hygienists' Association residing in the Chicago area. The primary independent variable, managed care, was measured with an item that asked the respondents to indicate the percentage of patients they treat that are insured by a managed dental plan. The questionnaire also contained items that measured the frequency in which the respondents perform 23 tasks that are indicators of quality of dental hygiene care. Principal components factor analysis of these 23 items yielded the study's two dependent variables: periodontal procedures and appointment time. Regression analysis of the data revealed a significant negative relationship between managed care and appointment time. This relationship may be attributable to an economic incentive on the part of dentist-employers who control the amount of time scheduled for dental hygienists' patients. Dentist-employers may reduce the time available for managed care patients in order to allow longer appointments for more profitable fee-for-service patients. The study results did not support the notion that managed care affects the extent to which dental hygienists perform periodontal procedures. These mixed results suggest that future research should examine the relationships between managed care and other aspects of quality of dental hygiene care not addressed in the current study.

Abstract:
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a significant problem faced by healthcare organizations globally. The Centers for Disease Control reported that in 2014, 722,000 patients acquired an HAI, and of those, 75,000 died as a result. This project focused on reeducating healthcare staff on hand hygiene practices to prevent HAIs. Preintervention hand hygiene compliance rates were compared to postintervention hand hygiene compliance rates on 2 units in an acute care setting to evaluate if reeducation of healthcare staff on hand hygiene protocols and practices would increase hand hygiene compliance rates. The evidence-based practice model used for this project was Nightingale's environmental theory. The research question for the study examined the effectiveness of hand hygiene reeducation on hand hygiene compliance rates. Participants included 97 nurses and ancillary staff. Hand hygiene compliance rates were compared 1 month before and 1 month after healthcare staff reeducation. Results showed an 18% increase in compliance rates following reeducation. These results might effect positive social change by reinforcing that reeducation has an impact on compliance rates for hand hygiene among nursing and ancillary staff in acute care settings.

Abstract:
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a significant issue in healthcare facilities worldwide. Hand hygiene (HH) remains the most effective method for preventing the incidence of HAI in routine patient care. Past and current interventions focused on the overall improvement of HH compliance, but studies found that the amount of time required to achieve full HH compliance with the existing guidelines may not be practical. Improving HH compliance at critical moments during patient care may be more effective than improving HH compliance at all opportunities. However, there are little to no studies on healthcare workers’ (HCWs) behavior regarding HH during the patient care process. Secondary data analysis on a prospective dataset from the STAR-ICU trial was completed to identify HCWs’ behavior patterns regarding HH during the patient care process. Multiple logistic regression for transitions with random effects using repeated measures and transition modeling was used to identify possible associations between HH compliance and patient care tasks, the order of tasks, and workload. The models adjusted for the effects of HCW type, glove use, and isolation precautions. The study identified 28,826 task sequences and 42,349 HH opportunities. HCWs were slightly less likely to do HH before critical tasks compared with other tasks (OR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.96-0.99), but more likely to do HH after contaminating tasks compared with other tasks (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.10-1.13). HCWs are also more likely to move from task sequences that have a relatively lower risk to patients to task sequences that have a relatively higher risk to patients than vice versa (65.4% versus 34.7%). HCWs are also less likely to do HH after moving from tasks that have a relatively lower risk to patients to tasks that have a relatively higher risk to patients than vice versa (OR: 0.93, 95% CI:0.92-0.95). HCWs’ HH compliance rates decreased as the workload level increased (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.89-0.98). Workload did not appear to affect HH compliance before critical tasks or after contaminating tasks and did not affect the order in which HCWs perform patient care tasks. Increase in workload was associated with an increase in the odds of critical tasks occurring (OR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.45-1.65). In conclusion, HCWs are more likely to perform HH after contaminating tasks to prevent contaminating themselves and to reduce the risk of transmission in subsequent task sequences. However, they do not perform tasks in an order that minimizes risk to the patient; instead, it appears that they perform tasks as they come up in routine care. Furthermore, HH is not being performed at critical moments during patient care. Lastly, workload did not affect the order in which HCWs perform patient care tasks, suggesting that HCWs behavior patterns contribute significantly to how they care for patients and perform HH. Interventions targeting the order in which HCWs perform patient care tasks and improving HH compliance before critical tasks may be more effective than those designed to improve HH compliance at all HH opportunities for reducing HAI rates.

Abstract:
Hospital-acquired, or nosocomial infections (HAIs) are the major source of mortality and morbidity for hospitalized patients. It is estimated that 7-10% patients developed HAIs during their hospital stays, with most patients got infected from intensive care units (ICU) [1,2]. Hand hygiene (HH) is recognized as the most easy and effective way to prevent HAIs. However, the observed hand hygiene compliance rates among healthcare workers (HCWs) have been regarded as unacceptably low, especially in ICU [3]. This literature review is to discuss the factors influencing the hand hygiene compliance among HCWs in ICU, in both the individual and institutional level, and suggest which factor was important in both levels. Recommendations in comprehensive approach on hand hygiene practices will also be included.

Abstract:
Objectives. To summarize current evidence on exposures to infectious pathogens in the emergency medical services (EMS) and 911 workforce, and on practices for preventing, recognizing, and controlling occupationally acquired infectious diseases and related exposures in that workforce. Review methods. We obtained advice on how to answer four Guiding Questions by recruiting a panel of external experts on EMS clinicians, State-level EMS leadership, and programs relevant to EMS personnel, and by engaging representatives of professional societies in infectious diseases and emergency medicine. We searched PubMed®, Embase®, CINAHL®, and SCOPUS from January 2006 to March 2022 for relevant studies. We also searched for reports from State and Federal Government agencies or nongovernmental organizations interested in infection prevention and control in the EMS and 911 workforce. Results. Twenty-five observational studies reported on the epidemiology of infections in the EMS and 911 workforce. They did not report demographic differences except for a higher risk of hepatitis C in older workers and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in minorities. EMS clinicians certified/licensed in Advanced Life Support have a high risk for blood and fluid exposure, and EMS clinicians had a higher risk of hospitalization or death from SARS-CoV-2 than firefighters whose roles were not primarily related to medical care. Eleven observational studies reported on infection prevention and control practices (IPC), providing some evidence that hand hygiene, standard precautions, mandatory vaccine policies, and on-site vaccine clinics are effective. Research on IPC in EMS and 911 workers has increased significantly since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Conclusions. Moderate evidence exists on the epidemiology of infections and effectiveness of IPC practices in EMS and 911 workers, including hand hygiene, standard precautions, mandatory vaccine policies, and vaccine clinics. Most evidence is observational, with widely varying methods, outcomes, and reporting. More research is needed on personal protective equipment effectiveness and vaccine acceptance, and better guidance is needed for research methods in the EMS and 911 worker setting.

Kohlitz, Jeremy, Avni Kumar, and Ruhil Iyer. Rural Sanitation in a Changing Climate: Reflections and Case Studies. The Sanitation Learning Hub, Institute of Development Studies, December 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/slh.2023.018.

Full text
Abstract:
To date, rural sanitation and hygiene are often conspicuously left out of discussions on climate change impacts on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. There are few studies that illustrate the impacts of climate hazards and shocks on rural sanitation and hygiene and limited programmatic guidance on how to achieve more resilient systems. Research about the climate impacts on rural sanitation and hygiene are needed to persuade action and equitable allocation of resources. Furthermore, implementers need practical guidance on what to do and how to situate sanitation within the wider pressures of both climate change on people’s livelihoods, as well as integrating climate adaptations within ongoing sanitation programming. With this rationale, the Sanitation Learning Hub (SLH) and University of Technology Sydney's Institute for Sustainable Futures, (UTS-ISF), along with a range of partners, have undertaken three case studies on climate change and rural sanitation with the aims of: • Building the evidence on the direct and indirect impacts of climate hazards on rural sanitation and hygiene practices. • Using participatory research methods to understand diverse local realities and experiences. • Exploring the feasibility of integrating climate-sensitive thinking into rural sanitation and hygiene programming through trialling climate-responsive sanitation interventions. • Facilitating learning and sharing with partners within and across case study regions to think through evidence-based recommendations for sanitation programming. The case studies, spanning three countries, collectively address each of these objectives, although not all case studies focus on every objective. They represent a spectrum of initiatives to collect evidence of climate impacts on rural sanitation and take climate action within rural sanitation programming (see Figure 1). This SLH Learning Brief provides a brief summary of these case studies, reflections from the SLH and UTS-ISF on their experiences developing the case studies, the results of a learning workshop between the partners involved in each case study, and a proposed way forward.

Abstract:
This case study was developed to inform subsequent research and analysis of local government leadership and prioritisation of sanitation and hygiene (S&H) in East Africa. Consolidated learning from across the three countries involved can be found in the Sanitation Learning Hub (SLH) Learning Brief: Strengthening sub-national systems for area-wide sanitation and hygiene. From late 2020 to early 2021, the SLH collaborated with local government actors and development partners from three sub-national areas to explore ways of increasing local government leadership and prioritisation of S&H to drive progress towards area-wide S&H. For some time, local government leadership has been recognised as key to ensuring sustainability and scale and it is an important component of the emerging use of systems strengthening approaches in the sanitation sector. It is hoped that this work will provide practical experiences to contribute to this thinking. Three case studies were developed to capture local government and development partners’ experiences supporting sub-national governments increase their leadership and prioritisation of S&H in Siaya County (Kenya), Nyamagabe District (Rwanda), and Moyo District (Uganda), all of which have seen progress in recent years. The development partners involved were UNICEF in Kenya, WaterAid in Rwanda, and WSSCC/Uganda Sanitation Fund in Uganda. The cases were then analysed through three online workshops facilitated with staff from the local governments, central government ministries and development partners involved to explore them in further detail, review experiences and identify levers and blockages to change. Lessons from the workshops are documented in the SLH learning brief mentioned above. This is the case study developed by Siaya County and UNICEF documenting their experiences and reflections from working together to increase prioritisation of S&H in Siaya County, Kenya.

Abstract:
Between July and October 2021, the Sanitation Learning Hub worked with government representatives and development partners to develop, share, and cross-analyse case studies looking at local system and government strengthening in four local government areas across West Africa: Benin (N’Dali commune), Ghana (Yendi municipal district), Guinea (Molota commune), and Nigeria (Logo LGA). The initiative focused on examples of local leadership in sanitation and hygiene (S&H), with case studies developed in collaboration with development partners (Helvetas in Benin, UNICEF in Ghana and Guinea, United Purpose in Nigeria) and the local governments they partner with. The goal was to cross-analyse examples of local government leadership in S&H, looking at what led to the prioritisation of S&H, and identifying commonalities and transferable knowledge through a participatory cross-learning process. The case studies identified positive change occurred in local government leadership in S&H, and analysed the contributions to change, via document review, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. This learning brief shares the learnings and recommendations that emerged from the case studies and through the three participatory workshops that followed.

Abstract:
Despite climate change being a major concern for the sanitation sector, rural sanitation remains neglected in the wider discussions of climate impacts on WASH services. Also, the voices of vulnerable individuals, households, and communities who are experiencing the effects of climate change in relation to sanitation issues are missing. The aim of the case study was to expand the evidence base on climate impacts on rural sanitation and hygiene practices and programmes in Burkina Faso and on practical adaptations to increase resilience and ensure communities are better able to maintain improved sanitation behaviours during and after times of climate stress. There was a focus on the social dimensions of impacts, exploring vulnerabilities and behavioural aspects of sanitation access and use. Additionally, the research identified the impacts climate change is already having on current programming efforts in rural settings.
