Abstract

Objective. To improve hand hygiene practice for healthcare workers in order to protect them from contamination in the performance of their professional duties and to prevent healthcare-associated infections Subjects and methods. The investigators conducted a bacteriological study of hand wipes from healthcare personnel (n=30) and carried out tests for the distribution of an antiseptic with the UV-black light handy training tool (Derma LiteCheck Box) using a disinfectant containing a fluorescent test concentrate (Visirub conc.) (n=290) after employing the procedure for disinfection of the hands of healthcare workers based on the "7/5/2"principle. Results. The procedure for disinfection of the hands of a healthcare worker based on the "7/5/2 "principle ensures even distribution of the antiseptic agent on the skin of the hands, with the greatest contrast agent accumulation in the area of the nail bones and interdigital folds, which is confirmed by a UV-blacklight fluorescent test. This bacteriological study of hand wipes from a healthcare worker showed that the skin lacked bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Proteus, and Staphylococcus aureus, or the total bacterial number. Conclusion. The proposed procedure for disinfecting the hands of healthcare workers using the “7/5/2” principle, which is based on current approaches to antiseptic treatment, has shown its effectiveness in studies and can be recommended for use in healthcare facilities.
