RESUMO

Ultraviolet disinfection (UV-C), though effective, has not been thoroughly evaluated at the level of the clinical end user. We assessed behavioral outcomes related to environmental hygiene among 60 nursing staff in a medical-surgical section after introduction of a UV-C tool aimed at disinfecting 4 high-touch surfaces, and we noted limited changes.
