Kernaussagen

Die hygienische Händedesinfektion ist eine evidenzbasierte Maßnahme, um die Entstehung von Infektionen zu verhindern. Leider wird diese Maßnahme bei der täglichen Patientenversorgung nur mit relativ geringer Compliance durchgeführt. Untersuchungen zeigen eine Compliance von 50 % und darunter, das heißt, dass in der Hälfte aller relevanten Situationen eine Übertragung von potenziell pathogenen Erregern möglich ist. Um die Compliance zu steigern, sollten multimodale Strategien eingesetzt werden. Nur wenn Interventionen auf einen Bereich zugeschnitten sind und von administrativen und hierarchischen Strukturen getragen werden, ist eine nachhaltige Steigerung der Compliance zu erreichen.
