Acessibilidade da estrutura física hospitalar para a prática da higienização das mãos

Abstract: A higienização das mãos é o procedimento mais simples e eficaz na prevenção e controle das infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde. Contudo, a adesão a esta prática é excessivamente baixa. Considera-se a infraestrutura inadequada dos serviços de saúde um dos fatores relacionados à baixa adesão. Diante disso, conduziu-se um estudo observacional e transversal para avaliar a infraestrutura hospitalar para a prática da higienização das mãos.

“…Regarding the physical and material structure for hands hygiene, no irregularities were found in this study, contrary to other studies where deficiencies in the infrastructure, as well as the nonavailability of materials favored non-adherence to HH (34)(35) . Thus, it is evident that the available infrastructure is important for HH, but it does not guarantee the expected results.…”

“…This observed reality is in line with other scientific evidence showing the lack of equipment and the non-replacement of the supplies on a constant basis as main barriers of hospital infrastructure for the practice of HH. 8 Among the inadequacies identified in this research, it is important to point out the lack of washbasins in all wards of three units (Medical Clinic, Surgical Clinic and Obstetrical and Gynecological Clinic), and only four of the units contemplated this requirement. This represents an important infrastructure problem for the practice of Hand Hygiene (HH), considering that the washbasin is the basic equipment, being obligatory that there is at least one washbasin inside each ward.…”
