摘要

正确的洗手技巧和一贯的遵从性可以减少与医疗保健相关的感染。最近开发的发光肥皂水龙头系统（GSFS）照亮荧光肥皂，从而允许用户以引人入胜的方式可视化发光肥皂的覆盖和去除。在医疗培训设施中安置了一个GSFS，对保健工作者的接待非常积极；93%的人报告说，GSFS“可能”或“肯定”会在与他们相似的工作场所降低感染率（N=136）。此外，一项针对非医疗参与者的洗手研究发现，与标准洗手相比，GSFS洗手在手上留下的细菌减少了3.1倍(细菌log10减少2.1比1.6；p

New shine on an old habit: a pilot study on a glow soap faucet system

Proper handwashing technique and consistent compliance reduce healthcare-associated infections. A recently developed glow soap faucet system (GSFS) illuminates a fluorescent soap, thereby allowing users to visualize glow soap coverage and removal in an engaging manner. A GSFS was placed in a medical training facility, and healthcare worker reception was very positive; 93% reported that a GSFS would ‘probably’ or ‘definitely’ decrease infection rates in workplaces similar to theirs (N = 136). Further, a handwashing study of non-medical participants found that GSFS washes left 3.1× fewer bacteria on hands compared with standard washes (bacteria log10 reduction of 2.1 vs 1.6; P < 0.01).

期刊介绍： The Journal of Hospital Infection is the editorially independent scientific publication of the Healthcare Infection Society. The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality research and information relating to infection prevention and control that is relevant to an international audience. The Journal welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of infection prevention and control in healthcare settings. This includes submissions that: provide new insight into the epidemiology, surveillance, or prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance in healthcare settings; provide new insight into cleaning, disinfection and decontamination; provide new insight into the design of healthcare premises; describe novel aspects of outbreaks of infection; throw light on techniques for effective antimicrobial stewardship; describe novel techniques (laboratory-based or point of care) for the detection of infection or antimicrobial resistance in the healthcare setting, particularly if these can be used to facilitate infection prevention and control; improve understanding of the motivations of safe healthcare behaviour, or describe techniques for achieving behavioural and cultural change; improve understanding of the use of IT systems in infection surveillance and prevention and control.
