Hand Hygiene:

Who &

WHY?

 

Thousands of people die every day around the world from infections acquired while receiving health care. Hands are the main pathways of germ transmission during health care. Hand hygiene is therefore the most important measure to avoid the transmission of harmful germs and prevent health care-associated infections. This brochure explains how and when to practice hand hygiene.

 

WHO?

•

Any health-care worker, caregiver or

person involved in direct or indirect

patient care needs to be concerned

about hand hygiene and should be

able to perform it correctly and at

the right time.

HOW?

•

Clean your hands by

rubbing them

with an alcohol-based formulation

,

as the preferred mean for routine

hygienic hand antisepsis if hands

are not visibly soiled. It is faster,

more effective, and better tolerated

by your hands than washing with

soap and water.

•

Wash your hands with soap and water

when hands are visibly dirty or visibly

soiled with blood or other body fluids

or after using the toilet.

•

If exposure to potential spore-forming

pathogens is strongly suspected

or proven, including outbreaks of

Clostridium difficile

, hand washing with

soap and water is the preferred means.

 

Task 2 (20 points):

Create a writer-centered analysis chart, where you identify different types of readers for the previous research topic(a report on Hand Hygiene) (check page 61 of your textbook).
