Background
Infectious and contagious diseases are the second most common cause of death, thus a global concern. Specifically, hospital-acquired infections act as a major source of mortality and morbidity. Based on the World Health Organization report, approximately 7% of patients in high-income economies are at risk of acquiring one type of hospital-acquired infection (Hague et
al.,2020). In addition, about 1.7 million individuals develop hospital-acquired infections annually. The hospital-acquired infection becomes a burden to the patients and raises the cost and the length of hospital stays.
Adequate hand hygiene is an effective solution to stopping the spread of hospital-acquired infections. However, it has been identified that healthcare workers fail to comply with the measure, leading to an increase in the spread of hospital-acquired infection (Sands et al.,2020). They consider hand hygiene a complex behavior influencing environmental and social factors. For instance, some argue that frequent hand washing affects the skin compared to hand disinfection. Therefore, there is a need to encourage healthcare workers to comply with low hand
hygiene compliance rates.
Research indicates that about 40 % of the rate of nosocomial infections has been reduced by compliance with hand disinfection (Agbana et al., 2020). Some diseases led by hospital-acquired infection include diarrhea and respiratory tract infection. Improper hand hygiene acts asa common risk for transmission of hospital-acquired infection.
Clinical Problem Statement
The problem statement is the lack of proper hand hygiene among healthcare workers which subjects the patient to the risk of contracting hospital-acquired infections. The hospital-acquired infection incubates at the time of hospital admission. Common infections include clostridium difficile infections, urinary tract infections, hospital-acquired pneumonia and surgical site infections. Most hospitals have a system that tracks the occurrence of infection and adopts robust
prevention measures to help reduce hospital-acquired infections. The risk of contracting hospital-acquired infection depends on the patient's immune status and the prevalence of pathogens within the community. Some risk factors for hospital-acquired infection include the length of hospital stay, frequent visits to healthcare facilities, older age and multiple underlying comorbidities. The hospital-acquired infections can enter the bloodstream, digestive tract and urinary tract. The current study aims to determine whether compliance with proper hand hygiene can help prevent the spread of hospital-acquired infections. Purpose of the Change Proposal
The purpose of the change of the proposal is to help emphasize the need for hand hygiene compliance to control the spread of hospital-acquired infection. Hand hygiene is a significant way of preventing the transmission of hospital-acquired infections. The study seeks to identify why behavioral health nurses fail to comply with proper hand hygiene.
