Late last year a hand hygiene audit was done in the SDS by a Master's student in Epidemiology. Her study included Pre-and Post InService data.
Here are the results. Good Job!!!
Hand hygiene compliance rates among RNs

By HCW, the HH compliance rate among the nurses was 18% (170/31) with the lowest compliance during the 1st and 2nd moment at 6% (52/3) and 3% (34/1), respectively. Among the anesthesiologists, the compliance rate was 27% (37/10), with lowest compliance during the 4th moment at 20% (10/2). Post intervention, the compliance rate, among nurses, increased substantially. Within this group, HH compliance increased from 18% (170/31) to 48% (176/84). This increase in compliance was significant (p<0.001). With regards to the anesthesiologists, with whom the intervention was not performed, results indicated that HH compliance went from 27% (37/10) to 31% (29/9). This was shown to not be significant (p=0.768). *** Please note that the intervention was only carried out with the nurses.
