Email: icephin@gmail.com Abstract Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics is one of the factors that leads to the development of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, understanding doctors’ practice, perception and knowledge is vital in targeting strategies to prevent antibiotic resistance. The aim of the study is to determine the practice, perception and knowledge of doctors on antibiotic use and resistance in Penang government hospitals. This is a cross sectional survey carried out in six Penang government hospitals from 9-20 January 2017. A face-and-content validated questionnaire adapted from Abbo et al., was distributed to house officers (HO), medical officers (MO) and specialists/consultants (SC) and collected back within five working days. A total of 243 questionnaires were completed with a response rate of 60.45%. Majority of our respondents (91.6%) considered whether patient is critically ill and/or immunocompromised when selecting an antibiotic. Regardless of their position, doctors agreed that antibiotics are overused and antibiotic resistance is a significant problem nationally. However, MO tended to perceive antibiotic management programmes as an obstacle to good patient care. The mean knowledge score among respondents was 5.88 ±1.92 out of 10. Adjusted analysis showed that SC have significantly higher mean knowledge score compared to HO and MO (p<0.001). Current antibiotic management programmes need to be continued to ensure judicious antibiotic use. However, a more targeted antimicrobial education strategy based on the findings of this study should be carried out to improve the practice, perception and knowledge of doctors on antibiotic use and resistance.","PeriodicalId":13991,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Infection Control","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79183918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Email: muschelghoum@gmail.com; mustapha.chelghoum@univ-sba.dz Abstract Adherence to hand hygiene recommendations by health care workers (HCWs) participate to minimize healthcare-associated infections. There are few studies, to our present state of knowledge, which were interested in the rate of adherence in Algerian hospitals and no one on the associated factors with the non-adherence by HCWs. The objective was to determine the rate of adherence with WHO’s hand hygiene recommendations (HHR) and to identify factors associated with non-adherence, in a regional university hospital. The method used was direct observation, based on the recording of hygienic actions in opportunities for HCWs according to the WHO’s five indications. Observations were made from November 10, 2019 until January 5, 2020. To determine the factors associated with non-adherence, a questionnaire was administered to HCWs. The relationship between the different factors and the achievement of a hygiene action was evaluated by Pearson’s Chi-square test. Five hundred three opportunities for hand hygiene were observed among 206 HCWs, during 19 observation sessions. Simple handwashing was noted in 19% of hand hygiene actions. The overall adherence was 21%. There was a wide variation in the adherence rates between the different departments and the different types of HCWs. There was a statistically significant association (p <0.05) between the availability of hygiene products, skin intolerance to hygiene products and non-adherence. The relationship between workload and adherence with HHRs was not statistically significant (p=0.279). The adherence to hand hygiene recommendations remains low. Using associated factors in developing a program to improve the adherence rate will result in greater efficiency with less time and resources.","PeriodicalId":13991,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Infection Control","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76140842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measures effective in controlling the disease include physical distancing and regular hand hygiene, though compliance varies. This study aimed to determine the frequency of hand hygiene compliance, identify reasons for non-compliance as well as significant associations of hand hygiene performance, type and duration. Visitors to two landmark sites in Uyo, southern Nigeria (a tertiary hospital and a popular mall) were observed for hand hygiene compliance. The type and duration of hand hygiene was also assessed. A subset of the participants was subsequently invited to participate in an interviewer-administered survey comprising questions on hand hygiene frequency, type, duration and reasons for non-compliance. Ethical approval was obtained for the study. A total of 490 subjects were observed from both sites (280 from the mall and 210 from the hospital), while 155, comprising 52.9% females and 47.1% males, with a mean age of 32.3 ± 11.2 years completed the survey. Although almost all participants (94.2%) considered hand hygiene a necessity, most (65.2%) forgot to wash their hands. The majority of the participants (74.3%) performed hand hygiene, and using soap and running water was the preferred method (80.6%). Age and location were significantly associated with hand hygiene performance, type and duration.","PeriodicalId":13991,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Infection Control","volume":"268 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75388739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
