description | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Poor hand hygiene is well documented as a factor in healthcare-associated infections and excellent rates of hand hygiene remains elusive. RECENT FINDINGS: There is increased use of universal or increased gloving to minimize hand contamination, but its use does not replace hand hygiene opportunities. There is significant interest in electronic hand hygiene monitoring systems, but they are not without their unique issues. Behavioral psychology remains a significant factor in motivating hand hygiene behaviors; even in COVID-19, hand hygiene rates initially improved but trended down back to baseline while still dealing with the pandemic. SUMMARY: More emphasis should be placed on the how to properly perform hand hygiene and why it is so important, as well as the role of gloves, is needed. Continued investment and awareness of their status as role models from both system leadership and senior healthcare providers are needed. |
