Résumé:
Etudes sur les bienfaits du lavage des mains au sein des travailleurs médicaux au Bangladesh afin d'éviter la transmission des maladies nosocomiales. Abstract:
Lack of proper handwashing by healthcare providers is the major vector for the spread of nosocomial pathogens in healthcare settings. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 128 community healthcare providers (CHCPs) in the Kurigram district of Bangladesh to investigate predictors of handwashing before and after clinical care encounters. Implementation of an effective training program on hand hygiene combined with improved access to handwashing stations and adequate supply of soap or antiseptic hand cleaner is required to improve both pre-and post-care clinical encounter handwashing practices among CHCPs.
