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.

Texto completoResumen
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Background: Hand hygiene practices either by hand rub by disinfectant or hand washing by soap and water are very important for preventing Health care-associated infections (HCAIs). WHO have devised guidelines for hand rub and hand wash and advocated “My five moments for hand hygiene” as the approach for appropriate performance, teaching and evaluation of hand hygiene. The objective of this study is to observe hand hygiene practices, among health care providers in a tertiary care govt. hospital and document facilities available at the point of patient care for hand hygiene practices.Methods: A cross sectional observation study was conducted in 8 departments of a Government Tertiary care Hospital for observation of hand hygiene practices as Per WHO Guideline on “5 Moment of Care”. Total of 600 observations were made and one Health care provider was observed once at a point of time. Data Entry was done in MS excel and was analysed in Open Epi software.Results: Among 600 moments observed, 354 (59%) moments were those where hand hygiene practices were missed by HCPs. Among various HCPs 63% Doctors, 62% Nurses, 52% Medical students and 59% nursing students missed the hand hygiene practices. Lack of antimicrobial soap, alcohol based agents, sterile towel and hand drier were perceived barriers for hand hygiene Practices.Conclusions: There lies a huge gap in practice of hand hygiene among all cadres of health care providers. The study is able to identify the lack of infrastructure which can be improved to promote hand hygiene in wards.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to explore factors that influence hygiene practices at small day care centers. It examines the effect of food hygiene training on hygiene practices and investigates the correlations between the hygienic status of food handlers' hands and that of kitchen utensils. Furthermore, it determines the influences of demographic and facility-related factors on hygiene practices in small day care centers. A total of 56 food handlers at 49 day care centers in the Gyeongnam area of South Korea participated in hygiene training. The results of the study showed that after two training sessions, the ATP bioluminescence levels of knives (P < 0.01), cutting boards (P < 0.01), food handlers' hands (P < 0.001), and UV disinfection cabinets (P < 0.01) decreased. After training, the total scores on the inspection checklist were significantly improved (P < 0.05). Strong associations between the microbial quality of hands and kitchen utensils were seen. Classification and regression tree analysis identified important factors that influence hygiene practices at small food service kitchens, such as status of registration with the government certification authority, length of food handlers' working experience and their age, and maximum number of people served. This study helps to broaden our knowledge of food hygiene issues in small day care centers.

Scleral lenses (ScCLs) are developed using the same material as rigid gas permeable corneal lenses yet the care of scleral lenses differs from corneal lenses. These large diameter rigid gas permeable lenses necessitate hygiene, care and compliance protocol that is more complex compared with corneal lenses. Cleaning, disinfection, storing, rinsing and applying ScCL will be discussed. Practitioners will gain confidence in ScCL care which will provide patients with a better understanding of the steps involved in ScCL disinfection leading to increased patient compliance and increased success rates. In turn, patient education will lower the risk for infection and other complications associated with ScCL.

Abstract: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Health Care-Associated Infection (HCAI) as an infection a patient acquired in health care settings. In Canada, more than 220,000 patients are infected by HCAIs annually, with 8,500 to 12,000 of these patients resulting in death, thus becoming the fourth leading cause of death for Canadians. Hand hygiene practice is the most critical measure to prevent HCAIs, however, research indicates that in hospitals worldwide, just 40% of health care workers abide by the advised hand hygiene guidelines. A new effective HCAI control and prevention program is needed to sustain benefits, building on prior interventions such as including hand hygiene education that stresses the necessity of this practice in the protocol, providing factual proof of the effectiveness of hand hygiene, the acknowledgment by senior staff of their responsibility as role models for all staff, innovative technological methods, and regular auditing/feedback. With the current outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that has infected millions around the world, a new HCAI control and prevention program can increase the compliance rate of handwashing with alcohol-based hand rub/sanitizer amongst healthcare professionals thus aiding in prevention and control of spread within the community.

Overwhelming rates of postsurgical adverse outcomes have been recognized to be preventable. As a means of minimizing the incidence of iatrogenesis, in 2005 the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Clean Care is Safer Care campaign, which focused on the importance of hand hygiene. Following its success, the WHO hoped to utilize similar strategies in their Safe Surgery Saves Lives campaign, which began in 2007. Despite active efforts to implement the associated 19-step surgical checklist, resource limitations restrict the full potential of such harm reduction strategies. Here, we discuss current evidence evaluating the effectiveness of the WHO’s surgical checklist and address challenges with respect to its application in the real world.

Poor hygiene practices in healthcare facilities contribute significantly to the spread of diseases and compromise public health outcomes, especially in resource-limited settings like South Sudan. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of the multifaceted factors influencing hygiene conditions in selected healthcare facilities in South Sudan. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from Juba Teaching Hospital, Bentiu State Hospital, Nyal Primary Health Care Centre, and Ganyliel Primary Health Care Centre. The study population included medical professionals, hospital staff, patients, and visitors. The results revealed a range of individual, environmental, and health facility factors contributing to poor hygiene. Individual behaviors such as inadequate hand washing, improper waste disposal, and lack of infection control awareness were identified as significant contributors to poor hygiene. Environmental factors such as inadequate sanitation infrastructure, unreliable water supply, and improper waste management practices were also found to exacerbate hygiene challenges. Moreover, health facility factors including overcrowding, inadequate staffing, and limited waste disposal resources further compounded the issue. Statistical analyses demonstrated significant correlations between these factors and poor hygiene outcomes, underscoring the complexity of the problem. Recommendations for improving hygiene standards encompassed comprehensive training programs, infrastructure upgrades, robust infection prevention policies, community engagement initiatives, and quality improvement measures. By addressing these multifactorial challenges, healthcare facilities in South Sudan can enhance hygiene standards, mitigate disease transmission, and improve overall public health outcomes. This study contributes valuable insights to the global discourse on healthcare hygiene and underscores the urgent need for tailored interventions in resource-constrained settings to ensure safe and hygienic healthcare environments.

Hand hygiene is a way of cleaning one’s hands that substantially reduces potential harmful microorganisms on the hands.1 Practicing hand hygiene is a simple yet effective way to prevent infections. Hand hygiene serves as barrier for spread of germs, including those that are resistant to antibiotics.2 Only 20-30 seconds of washing with an alcohol-based product, or 30 - 40 seconds with soap and water, will help us in a health care setting or in community stop the spread of infection, control the risk of bacterial mutations (causative of antimicrobial resistance, and advance the safety and quality of health care for all.3
There is need to create awareness among masses regarding hand hygiene practices. Behavioral change through continuous educational and awareness programs can bring substantial change in promoting hand hygiene practices

Abstract Background: Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in health-care facilities is fundamental for providing quality, people-centered care and critical to achieving quality and accessible health services. This study aimed to assess the status of the WASH infrastructure in health-care facilities of Raipur district, Chhattisgarh, India. Methodology: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study carried out in all public health-care facilities of Abhanpur block, Raipur district, Chhattisgarh, India, between 2019 and 2020 using an adapted version of joint monitoring program’s (JMP) core questions, indicators, and service ladder framework. Results: A total of 2 community health centers (CHCs), 7 primary health centers (PHCs), and 34 subhealth centers (SHCs) were included in the present study. All CHCs (100%) had essential water, sanitation, hygiene, and waste management services. Among PHCs, 85.7% had water from improved and hygienic sources, only 57.1% had basic sanitation, and 100% had vital essential waste management services. Among SHCs, 55.9% had essential water, 2.9% had basic sanitation, 20.6% had basic hygiene, and 35.3% had necessary waste management services. Overall, it was found that 62.8% of health-care facilities had necessary water services, 16.3% had basic sanitation services, 34.9% had essential hygiene services, and 48.8% had basic waste management services. Conclusion: The status of WASH infrastructure in health-care facilities of Raipur district is either limited or not available, especially concerning sanitation services, hygiene, and waste management services. It is the need of the hour to ensure a coordinated response that in all health-care facilities, WASH services are made available and accessible.

Adherence to hand hygiene recommendations in the intensive care unit (ICU) is variable and moderate, at the best. This observational study aimed to measure adherence to hand hygiene recommendations among ICU clinicians in 4 multidisciplinary ICUs at Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital, Chitwan. Researchers observed 100 clinicians (79 nurses, 13 medical officers and 8 physicians and pediatricians) during patient encounter. Clinicians were unaware that they were under observation. We documented use of gloves, soap and alcohol solution before and after patient encounters for purposes of physical examination or patient care. 80% of clinicians used some form of hand hygiene without fully adhering to recommendations, whereas 20% did not appear to attend to hand hygiene at all during observation. Among 80 clinicians who used some form of hand hygiene, 30% of clinicians adhering to recommendations used gloves followed by washing with soap or alcohol solution. Hence, Multidisciplinary approaches to improving hand hygiene is necessary to improve the modest adherence to hand hygiene that researchers observed.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmc.v5i1.12559

Purpose. Contact lens hygiene is a crucial factor for a success- ful contact lens fitting and, above all, for long-term healthy contact lens wear. A review of the literature is intended to summarize the most important points especially in relation to recent publications. Material and Methods. A narrative literature review was performed to identify relevant publications. PubMed (www. pubmed.gov) was used as the platform for the search. The search term used was “contact lens hygiene”. Results. Successful contact lens hygiene depends on the effectiveness of the care solution, the instruction of the pa- tient by the contact lens practitioner and the correct imple- mentation of the recommended care steps. Basically, either multipurpose solutions (combination solutions) or peroxide systems are available for care. The advantage of peroxide systems is the higher disinfection performance compared to multipurpose solutions. For rigid gas permeable contact lenses, manual surface cleaning in combination with a surface cleaner is essential. The likelihood of occurrence of microbial keratitis is lower in wearers of rigid gas permeable contact lenses than in wearers of soft contact lenses. Conclusion. In addition, to hand hygiene, the selection of the care product and regular instruction of the user by the eye care practitioner play a vital role. From a hygienic perspective, daily disposable contact lenses are the safest option.

Background: Poor hand hygiene is an important source of infection, but maintaining hand hygiene is the most important measure to prevent infections. Hand hygiene compliance and its associated factors are not well recognized in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was intended to determine hand hygiene compliance and its associated factors among health care workers in Eka Kotebe General Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among health care workers at Eka Kotebe General Hospital. A self-administered questionnaire supplemented by a World Health Organization Hand Hygiene Technical Reference Manual was used to collect data. Data was entered using Epi Info 7.2.0.1 and exported to SPSS 23 for analysis. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical significance was determined using a P-value of ⩽.05 with a 95% confidence interval. Results: Hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers was 22.2%. Hand hygiene training (AOR = 2.9, 95% CI: 1.13-7.52), presence of hand hygiene indication poster (AOR = 3.38, 95% CI: 1.18-9.66), hand hygiene promotion by IPC team (AOR = 4.2, 95% CI: 2.53-8.58)), working experience ⩾5 years of a health care providers (AOR = 3.96, 95% CI: 1.12-13.9), being midwife (AOR = 17.1, 95% CI: 2.8-10), being nurse (AOR = 5.3, 95% CI: 2.09-7.8) by profession, and presence of water (AOR = 2.50, 95% CI: 2.20-11.78) were significantly associated factors to hand hygiene compliance. Conclusion: The level of hand hygiene compliance among health care providers was found to be low. Training about hand hygiene, the presence of hand hygiene indication posters, hand hygiene promotion by the IPC team, working experience of health care providers, being a nurse and midwife, and the presence of water were independent predictors of hand hygiene compliance. Health care workers need to be given training on hand hygiene as well as hand hygiene facilities shall be installed and supplied by the hospital in a sustained manner.

AbstractBackground:Antibiotic-resistant organism (ARO) colonization rates in skilled nursing facilities (NFs) are high; hand hygiene is crucial to interrupt transmission. We aimed to determine factors associated with hand hygiene adherence in NFs and to assess rates of ARO acquisition among healthcare personnel (HCP).Methods:HCP were observed during routine care at 6 NFs. We recorded hand hygiene adherence, glove use, activities, and time in room. HCP hands were cultured before and after patient care; patients and high-touch surfaces were cultured. HCP activities were categorized as high-versus low-risk for self-contamination. Multivariable regression was performed to identify predictors of hand hygiene adherence.Results:We recorded 385 HCP observations and paired them with cultures performed before and after patient care. Hand hygiene adherence occurred in 96 of 352 observations (27.3%) before patient care and 165 of 358 observations (46.1%) after patient care. Gloves were worn in 169 of 376 observations (44.9%). Higher adherence was associated with glove use before patient care (odds ratio [OR], 2.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44–4.54) and after patient care (OR, 3.11; 95% CI, 1.77–5.48). Compared with nurses, certified nurse assistants had lower hand hygiene adherence (OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.15–0.67) before patient care and physical/occupational therapists (OR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.11–0.44) after patient care. Hand hygiene varied by activity performed and time in the room. HCP hands were contaminated with AROs in 35 of 385 cultures of hands before patient care (0.9%) and 22 of 350 cultures of hands after patient care (6.3%).Conclusions:Hand hygiene adherence in NFs remain low; it is influenced by job title, type of care activity, and glove use. Hand hygiene programs should incorporate these unique care and staffing factors to reduce ARO transmission.
