Abstract

Infection prevention and control (IPC) represents a critical priority in healthcare delivery, with hand hygiene serving as a key quality indicator. This study aimed to profile hand hygiene compliance at Clinic X in Makassar City. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 32 healthcare staff, including clinicians, allied health professionals, and support staff, selected through total sampling. Data collection employed direct observation using a standardised checklist based on the WHO "Five Moments" framework and the six-step hand hygiene technique. The overall hand hygiene compliance rate was 96.05%. Moment-specific analysis revealed perfect compliance (100%) after contact with patients, body fluids, and patient surroundings. However, compliance before patient/specimen contact was 91.5%, and notably, no hand hygiene opportunities were observed before aseptic procedures during the study period. Alcohol-based hand rubs were the predominant method (84.47%) compared to handwashing with soap (15.53%). Despite exemplary overall compliance supported by a robust safety culture, significant vulnerabilities persist in procedural infection prevention. The disparity between reactive and proactive hand hygiene underscores the need for targeted interventions, particularly through enhanced clinical auditing before aseptic procedures. Further investigation into the behavioural determinants underlying these compliance gaps is strongly recommended.

Abstract

The widespread adoption of digital technologies among university students necessitates a thorough investigation into their usage patterns and the multifaceted implications for academic achievement and health. This study aims to provide a descriptive overview of gadget usage patterns among university students. This study utilizes a descriptive research design with a cross-sectional approach. A sample size of 77 students was selected using a consecutive sampling sampling technique. data collection was conducted using a questionnaire in the form of a Google form. This study found that the majority of respondents were female (53.2%), aged 18-23 years (54.5%), who used gadgets for 1-6 hours daily (53.2%). The most commonly used application was social media (27.3%). Smartphones and tablets were the gadgets used most frequently (57.1%), which the respondents kept near them while sleeping (41.6%). Within the home, the TV was located in the bedroom or near the bedroom (35.1%), and the respondents reported their emotional condition as normal (68.8%). Gadget usage among students is shaped by their characteristics and behavioral patterns in utilizing technology. Further research is needed to examine the implications of these usage patterns on students' academic achievement and well-being.
