Summary, etc. | ABSTRACT: Handwashing is defined as a vigorous, brief, rubbing together of all surfaces of lathered hands, followed by rinsing under a stream of water. It has been proven that bacteria and viruses are commonly transmitted via the hands of health care workers and handwashing is the single most important intervention to prevent such spread. This study aims to determine the handwashing practices of medical practitioners in the in-patient charity ward and outpatient non-surgical departments of FEU-NRMF from September 17, 18, and 20, 2002. The percentage of medical practitioners performing handwashing, the kind of disinfectant agents used, and the available handwashing facilities were determined. Clustered sampling was done and a total of 20 medical practitioners from the in-patient ward, and 25 medial practitioners in the outpatient department were observed for 3 days for 2 hours each day. It was observed that 0% of the medical practitioners were compliant to the handwashing indications. Handwashing facilities were also found to be deficient of anti-bacterial soap. Further studies are recommended to determine factors of non-compliance of health care workers. Increasing the time of observation as well as the number of subjects may improve the study. |
