Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Hand hygiene in health care facilities (HCFs) remains a significant public health challenge. Global baseline estimates on water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in HCFs indicate that 26% of HCFs lack access to an improved water source on the premises. In this study, we sought to assess the proportion of handwashing coverage and the associated factors among healthcare workers in public and private healthcare facilities in Ndejje division, Makindye Ssabagabo municipality, Wakiso district.
UNASSIGNED: A descriptive cross-sectional study with both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection was conducted. A total of 350 healthcare workers were interviewed using a self-administered structured open-ended paper questionnaire and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) guide. Data was analysed using STATA 14.2 and ATLAS. ti version 8 software.
UNASSIGNED: The majority of 350 (92.6%) of healthcare workers were from private health facilities. We found out that the proportion of handwashing facilities coverage was 97.7%. The proportion of handwashing was good coupled with a positive attitude towards handwashing. Being a nurse was highly associated with washing hands in both private and public health facilities.
UNASSIGNED: High hand washing proportion was attributed to the COVID-19 guidelines and enforcement which sparked adherence to the standard operating procedures.

医疗机构(HCF)的手部卫生仍然是一项重大的公共卫生挑战。全球水资源基线估计,环卫,HCFs中的卫生(WASH)表明,26%的HCFs无法获得改善的水源。在这项研究中,我们试图评估Ndejje部门公共和私人医疗机构的医护人员洗手覆盖率和相关因素的比例,MakindyeSsabagabo市,Wakiso区.
采用定量和定性数据收集方法进行了描述性横断面研究。使用自我管理的开放式纸质问卷和焦点小组讨论(FGD)指南,共采访了350名医护人员。使用STATA14.2和ATLAS分析数据。ti版本8软件。
350名(92.6%)的医护人员来自私人医疗机构。我们发现,洗手设施覆盖率为97.7%。洗手的比例很好,并且对洗手持积极态度。在私人和公共卫生设施中,成为护士与洗手密切相关。
高洗手比例归因于COVID-19指南和执法,这引发了对标准操作程序的遵守。
