摘要

本研究的目的是调查希腊大学生关于手卫生和手机卫生的知识、态度和行为,以及与手机微生物负荷的关系。在100名学生中分发了一份匿名自我报告的问卷,并从他们的设备中取出拭子进行微生物培养和现场生物发光微生物负荷评估。大多数人(89%)认为洗手是最有效的个人保护行为,而空间限制(40%)和健忘(31%)是忽视洗手的主要原因。大多数学生每天洗手6-10次(32%),洗手时间约为11-20秒(35%)。虽然大多数设备在上周进行了清洁/消毒(28%),但许多设备被腐生葡萄球菌(84%)、金黄色葡萄球菌(13%)和大肠杆菌(39%)污染,而75%的样品超过了光度计测量的“不合格”阈值限制。此外,差异有统计学意义(p <器械微生物负荷与某些手卫生行为和偏好之间存在显著性差异(0.05)。大肠杆菌的中位数cfu/cm2在卫生科学专业的一年级学生中较高,而金黄色葡萄球菌在女性手机中比在男性手机中更普遍。由此可以理解,大学生对手卫生和手机卫生的知识、态度和行为与手机上的微生物负荷密切相关。

Hygiene Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors of Greek Undergraduate Students on Mobile Phones and Corresponding Devices’ Microbial Assessment
The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Greek undergraduate students on hand hygiene and mobile phone hygiene, in relation to their mobile phones’ microbial load. An anonymous self-reported questionnaire was distributed among 100 students and swabs were taken from their devices for microbiological cultures and for an on-site bioluminescence microbial load assessment. Hand washing was considered the most effective personal protective behavior by the majority (89%), while spatial restrictions (40%) and forgetfulness (31%) were the main reasons for neglecting hand washing. Most students washed their hands 6–10 times/day (32%) for approximately 11–20 s (35%). Although most devices were cleaned/disinfected within the last week (28%), many were contaminated with Staphylococcus saprophyticus (84%), Staphylococcus aureus (13%), and Escherichia coli (39%), while 75% of the samples exceeded the “fail” threshold limit of the luminometer’s measurements. Moreover, statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between the devices’ microbial load and certain hand hygiene behaviors and preferences. The median cfu/cm2 of Escherichia coli was higher among first-year students of health sciences, while Staphylococcus aureus was more prevalent in females’ than in males’ mobile phones. It w therefore understood that undergraduate students’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors on hand hygiene and mobile phone hygiene are highly intertwined with the microbial load on their mobile phones.
