Association of Hospital-Acquired Infection Rates with Hand Hygiene Compliance Levels
Abstract
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) pose a significant threat to patient safety and increase healthcare costs. Hand hygiene is a crucial preventive measure for reducing the transmission of HAIs. This review article aims to investigate the association between hand hygiene compliance levels and HAI rates in healthcare settings. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify relevant studies published between [start date] and [end date]. The selected studies were analyzed to assess the relationship between hand hygiene compliance and HAI rates, considering factors such as healthcare setting, patient population, and hand hygiene interventions. The findings of this review suggest that there is a strong correlation between improved hand hygiene compliance and decreased HAI rates. Implementing effective hand hygiene programs, including education, training, and monitoring, is essential to enhance patient safety and reduce the burden of HAIs in healthcare facilities.
