Abstract

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is a great issue to concern in healthcare services because it accounts for prolonged hospital stay and may lead to morbidity or mortality. Proper hand hygiene behavior in the healthcare environment is indispensable in minimizing the risk of HAIs. This study aimed to identify the impact of hand hygiene education on healthcare workers' (HCWs) compliance, knowledge, and perception of hand hygiene at Atma Jaya Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. The compliance of hand hygiene was evaluated using the World Health Organization’s (WHO) five moments for hand hygiene as the reference. Data on hand hygiene knowledge and perception were collected using a translated version of the WHO’s hand hygiene knowledge questionnaire and hand hygiene perception questionnaire, respectively. Results showed a significant increase in compliance with hand hygiene after the online session’s intervention had been implemented, except hand hygiene compliance for the ‘after touching patient surroundings’ moment. There was also a significant increase in the HCWs' hand hygiene knowledge after the intervention. The HCWs' perceptions are also found to be positive even before the intervention. This study concludes that the HCWs' knowledge and compliance with hand hygiene at Atma Jaya Hospital increase significantly after an educational intervention had been conducted.

Abstract

Primary care physicians (PCPs) are trained to provide care for a wide scope of medical conditions within their patient population. They are supposed to be the very first healthcare provider the patient should visit when having an illness. Accordingly, it is customary for PCPs to encounter many types of patient cases in their practice. In addition to common diseases, some patients may present with symptoms of a rare disease (RD).Unfortunately, PCPs often lack knowledge to promptly detect and manage the patients with such disease. A research from Ireland reveals that only a third of PCPs were able to establish a diagnosis for RD and refer the patient to the appropriate specialist1. In Spain, more than half the PCPs were deemed fair or poor in knowledge of RD2. Similar result was also obtained from an expert survey in Belgium, stating that the basic RD knowledge of most PCPs in the country is low3. It is therefore justifiable for Evans to say that many patients with RD are un- or misdiagnosed4 and thus, it may take years to finally get a correct diagnosis3. In Indonesia, there has been no published local- or nationwide research surveying the PCP’s knowledge concerning presentations of RD.
