“…Higher correlations, although moderate, between the “Comfortability” factor, which is more related to attitudes, and the other scales (CAMI, SD, and EAPS-TM), turn out to be similar to those found by other studies aimed at measuring attitudes related to the stigma toward SMDs (Yanos et al, 2017). On the other hand, the lowest correlations obtained by “Supportive behaviors” and those scales are consistent with what was found in studies where behaviors and attitudes, in the health field, were related (González-Cabrera et al, 2012).…”

“…These factors are consistent. They are defined as humanized treatment and expressed in a kind, affectionate, and warm relationship that supports the other (González-Cabrera et al, 2012). Interestingly, this type of interaction positively affects the patient and health care personnel, who express feelings of pleasure and comfort when associating with people with an SMD.…”

Interventions to reduce the stigma of health care personnel toward people with mental disorders have been generally evaluated fundamentally by improving attitudes and reducing the desire for a social distance toward this population. However, decreasing stigma should be accompanied by an increase in good treatment behaviors toward those affected. Humanization of care, which is understood as a friendly, respectful, and supportive relationship, could be an excellent way to evaluate the effectiveness of antistigma interventions. This requires reliable and valid instruments. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the humanized care behavior scale used in health care personnel. The study was quantitative and cross-sectional. The participants were a nonrandom sample of 217 health providers from 12 family health centers in Gran Concepcio ´n, Chile. An exploratory factorial analysis was applied to study the factorial structure, and Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's total omega coefficients were used to evaluate the internal consistency. The concurrent validity was assessed through a correlational analysis with three other scales. Regarding the results, the final scale comprised 16 items in two factors. There was an acceptable correlation between the two dimensions. The reliability indices for the total scale were high. Correlations between the total scale and its factors with the other scales used were in the expected direction. Consequently, the instrument developed is valid and reliable. It can be used to evaluate antistigma interventions and improve health personnel's humanization of care toward consultants with mental disorders. Public Significance StatementThis study evaluated a scale for assessing humanized care provided by health care personnel to individuals with mental disorders. Humanized care is defined as a friendly, respectful, and supportive relationship and is a crucial factor in reducing stigma associated with psychiatric diagnoses. The scale exhibited good psychometric properties, indicating its usefulness in evaluating nonstigmatized and humanized behavior toward people with mental disorders.

“…Nuestro estudio es de los pocos que además de evaluar conocimientos, evalúa las percepciones de los PS respecto a la HM; y no sólo en un grupo determinado de PS 17 . El tipo de muestreo puede ser una limitación de nuestro estudio, ya que la muestra seleccionada podría no ser representativa de los PS de ambas unidades.…”

ResumenUn conocimiento adecuado sobre la higiene de las manos por parte de los profesionales sanitarios, es el primer paso para la adherencia a cualquier programa de disminución de infección relacionada con la asistencia sanitaria. ObjetivoEvaluar el nivel de conocimientos y percepciones respecto a la higiene de manos entre los profesionales sanitarios de nuestra unidad de Nefrología, y compararlos con los de otra unidad de nuestro centro (Traumatología). Material y métodoEstudio prospectivo descriptivo comparativo en 69 profesionales sanitarios. Para evaluar los conocimientos y percepciones respecto a la higiene de manos se utilizó un cuestionario de 26 ítems basado en cuestionarios desarrollados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Resultados73% utiliza regularmente preparados de base alcohólica para higiene de manos (Traumatología 96,9%, p=0,007). 94% piensa que las manos de los profesionales sanitarios cuando no están limpias son la principal vía de transmisión de gérmenes patógenos (Traumatología: 87,1%, p=NS). 75,7% piensan que el entorno/superfi cies del hospital es la principal fuente de gérmenes patógenos (Traumatología: 68,8%) y 16% que son los microrganismos ya presentes en el paciente (Traumatología: 25%) (p=NS). Percepciones: 89% consideran alta la repercusión de las infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia sanitaria en el desenlace de la enfermedad (Traumatología: 59,4%, p=0,009). Respecto a las medidas más efectivas para mejorar la higiene de manos destacan la formación de los profesionales sanitarios, recibir retroalimentación regularmente sobre cómo realizar la higiene de manos y que exista un preparado de base alcohólica en cada punto de atención. ConclusionesLos profesionales sanitarios de Nefrología, al igual que los de Traumatología, en general tienen conocimientos y percepciones adecuados sobre la higiene de manos. PALABRAS CLAVE: -HIGIENE DE LAS MANOS -PROFESIONAL SANITARIO -CONOCIMIENTOS, ACTITUDES Y PRÁCTICA EN SALUD -DIÁLISIS RENAL -TRAUMATOLOGÍAHand hygiene perceptions and knowledge of healthcare workers in a Nephrology Unit: a comparative study. AbstractAdequate knowledge about hand hygiene (Hh) by healthcare workers (HCW), is the fi rst step for adhering to any decreased infection related with healthcare (IRHC) program. AimTo evaluate Hh perceptions and knowledge of HCW in a Nephrology Unit and compare it with another unit in our hospital (Trauma). MethodologyComparative prospective study in 69 HCW. A 26-item questionnaire, based on questionnaires developed by WHO to assess knowledge and perceptions of Hh in HCW was used.
