Filter by:The goal of this study is to design and test an innovative education tool for hand hygiene. The main aims are: 1. develop a prototype of the AI-empowered AR system for hand hygiene training and assessment in undergraduates of health-related disciplines; 2. conduct a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the effectiveness of this AI-based AR training system on knowledge and practice of hand hygiene in students of health related disciplines; 3. evaluate the effects of the AI-based AR training system and collect feedbacks from participants. Participants will be randomly assigned into the two intervention: Group A (AI-based AR training system) and Group B (Hand scanner and Video training). Pre- and post-intervention assessment will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and individual components.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the hands4health hand hygiene multi-component intervention on students and teachers in primary schools with limited access to water in Nigeria and Palestine. To evaluate the effects of the intervention, the investigators will involve the participants in the included schools in the following data collection methods, including (i) a survey regarding their thoughts, behaviours, and practices related to handwashing at school, (ii) structured observation of their handwashing behaviour (iii) hand rinse sample collection to check for bacteria on their hands, (iv) absenteeism tracking through a daily journal to record the reasons for any absences, with a specific focus on identifying if they are related to hygiene-related diseases, and (v) discussions and interviews to gather their perspectives on the perceived impacts of the intervention on their health and well-being. The investigators will collect data using these methods before the intervention starts, a few months after it begins, and again one year later. The schools will be randomly divided into two groups: one group will receive the intervention activities, including handwashing station/rehabilitation of water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, behavioural change intervention, capacity development, and management support. The other group will not receive any intervention until the end of the study. By comparing the two groups, the investigators will determine if the intervention had any impact on health determinants including, hygiene infrastructure, handwashing knowledge, behaviour, beliefs, etc.
The goal of this observational study is to design and test a multicomponent education program of hand hygiene in nursing students. The main aims are: 1. conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the effectiveness of this program on knowledge and practice of hand hygiene in nursing students; 2. evaluate the effects of each component and collect feedbacks from participants. Participants will be randomly assigned into the three intervention: Group A (Hand scanner instant feedback) , Group B (Video training), Group C (Hand scanner + Video training) , and Group D (Control group without intervention). Pre- and post-intervention assessment will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and individual components.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of hand hygiene training given to the companions in the palliative care service with standard patient simulation on hand washing knowledge and practices. Companions who are over the age of eighteen, who are at least literate, who can communicate effectively, and who fully fill in the data collection tools will be included in the study. The key questions it aims to answer Does the hand hygiene training given with standard patient simulation have an effect on the hand washing knowledge of the attendants? Do the attendants participating in the hand hygiene training given with standard patient simulation have an effect on hand washing practices?
Hand sanitizers are a standard of hygiene requirements. Hand sanitizers must be effective at reducing germ count on the hands while ideally providing emollients to moisturize the skin after use. To improve compliance with hand sanitizing protocols, hand sanitizers should provide a pleasant touch and feel experience for end users, especially for healthcare worker (HCW) users, who use these products frequently.
Randomized controlled trial to further assess the impact of a digital intervention on hand hygiene of young children. Children in intervention kindergartens will see live instructions and feedback on their hand washing activity in reals-time / while washing hands. Aim of the study is to better understand behavior change of young children.
Project BECCCS (=Behavior Change in Context to Contain the Spread of COVID-19) aims to optimise and test a behaviour change intervention to promote correct hand hygiene at key times in the short and long term. The study's specific aims are: 1. Optimisation phase: Identify the most effective combination and sequence of three different intervention modules (habit, motivation, social norms), and to assess usability and fidelity measures in order to optimise the intervention 2. Evaluation phase: Test the final intervention against an active control group (basic app content including "Federal Office of Public Health" advice)
Objective of the randomized controlled trial is to assess the impact of a digital intervention on hand hygiene of young children. Children in intervention kindergartens / elementary schools will see live instructions and feedback on their current hand washing activity while washing hands. We hypothesize that the digital intervention will improve hand hygiene practices of children in kindergarten / elementary school.
To evaluate the residual antimicrobial effectiveness of one test product when tested using a modification of the methodology of the standardized ASTM E115-11 (2017)
In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the use of a multi-faceted, multi-modal hand hygiene strategy (Five Moments for Hand Hygiene) to improve hand hygiene compliance among healthcare staff. The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread globally. The novel coronavirus is characterized by rapid human-to-human transmission. Hand washing is a part of measures recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to avoid contracting COVID-19.The purpose of this study was to use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing and direct observation for improving hand hygiene and compliance in nurse.
