“…Çalışmamızda hemşire-lerin bir kısmı (%8.6), "İzolasyon uygulanan hasta ile temastan önce ellerimi yıkarım" sözüne katıldığını, bir kısmınında (%3.6) bu konuda düşüncesinin olmadığını belirtmesi çarpıcıdır. İzolasyon önlemlerine uyum ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalarda da, el hijyenine uyumun, (%19-%28 (16,25)) düşük olduğu bildirilmektedir. Ülkemizde Koşucu ve arkadaşları (3) sağlık personelinin el hijyeni uyumu oranını inceledikleri çalışmada, tüm sağlık personelinin el hijyenine uyum oranı %58 olarak saptanmıştır.…”

Background We describe a successful interdisciplinary liaison program that effectively reduced health care-acquired (HCA), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a university hospital setting. Methods Baseline was from January 2006 to March 2008, and intervention period was April 2008 to September 2009. Staff nurses were trained to be liaisons (link nurses) to infection prevention (IP) personnel with clearly defined goals assigned and with ongoing monthly education. HCA-MRSA incidence per 1,000 patient-days (PD) was compared between baseline and intervention period along with total and non-HCA-MRSA, HCA and non-HCA-MRSA bacteremia, and hand soap/sanitizer usage. Hand hygiene compliance was assessed. Results A reduction in MRSA rates was as follows in intervention period compared with baseline: HCA-MRSA decreased by 28% from 0.92 to 0.67 cases per 1,000 PD (incidence rate ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval: 0.62–0.83, P < .001), and HCA-MRSA bacteremia rate was reduced by 41% from 0.18 to 0.10 per 1,000 PD (incidence rate ratio, 0.59; 95% confidence interval: 0.42–0.84, P = .003). Total MRSA rate and MRSA bacteremia rate also showed significant reduction with nonsignificant reductions in overall non-HCA-MRSA and non-HCA-MRSA bacteremia. Hand soap/sanitizer usage and compliance with hand hygiene also increased significantly during IP. Conclusion Link nurse program effectively reduced HCA-MRSA. Goal-defined metrics with ongoing reeducation for the nurses by IP personnel helped drive these results.

“…423,827 There are also reports on the effective use of education for hand hygiene promotion strategies outside the acute hospital care setting. 449,[828][829][830] It is important, therefore, to continue to use the formal education programme as one feature of the implementation strategy for hand hygiene improvement in health care.…”
