| Abstract |
Purpose/Aims: This project aimed to implement formal education on proper hand hygiene (HH); practices, reinforced with tactile and visual reminders, to improve HH compliance among; nursing staff in a rehabilitation unit.; Rationale/Background: Although HH is vital in reducing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs),; formal HH education is lacking in many clinical settings. This project addresses the need for; improved HH compliance through evidence-based interventions such as education,; reinforcement, and visual reminders.; Methods: This project is based on Stetler's evidence-based practice model and includes; preparation, validation, comparative evaluation, application, and evaluation phases. The; implementation plan provides education sessions, tactile reinforcement with Glo Germ and UV; light, laminated signage, ABHS distribution, and reinforcement pins. The interventions were; analyzed through pre- and post-intervention surveys and quizzes.; Results: Implementation of the HH intervention revealed significant improvements in; compliance rates and identified three major themes: 1) early error correction of HH practices, 2); increased staff confidence in HH techniques, and 3) enhanced team performance in maintaining; HH standards.; Conclusions: By integrating formal education, tactile reinforcement, and visual reminders, this; project successfully improved HH compliance among nursing staff. |
