ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Hand hygiene (HH) is essential for the prevention of health care-associated infections (HAIs). Compliance rates documented in Spain and internationally are low, although improvement is possible using some strategies and training. The aim of this study was to know the evolution of the adherence to the 5 moments for hand hygiene of the health professionals of the Hospital Universitario Fundación Alcorcón and to propose measures to implement it. METHODS: A direct observation study about the compliance of the 5 moments for HH in this hospital for seven years was carried out. Different professional groups received training, using the traditional method and simulation learning. The data was summarized using percentages and absolute frequencies. They were analyzed using SPSS version 21 for Windows. RESULTS: Adherence increased from 37% in 2011 to 57.8% in 2019. Compliance in the 5 moments was higher after patient contact than before it. Nurses were one of the groups with the highest compliance. CONCLUSIONS: Even though they have improved, compliance rates need to be maintained and to increase especially in moments as crucial as before an aseptic procedure. Training and the implementation of strategies are key.


OBJETIVO: La higiene de manos (HM) es fundamental para la prevención de las infecciones relacionadas con la atención sanitaria (IRAS). Los índices de cumplimiento documentados, tanto en España como internacionalmente, son bajos, aunque una mejoría es posible utilizando algunas estrategias y formación. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la evolución de la adherencia a los 5 momentos de higiene de manos de los profesionales sanitarios del Hospital Universitario Fundación Alcorcón, y plantear medidas para implementarla. METODOS: Se realizó un estudio de observación directa sobre el cumplimiento de los 5 momentos de HM en este hospital durante siete años. Diferentes colectivos profesionales recibieron formación, utilizando el método tradicional y aprendizaje mediante simulación. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo, con frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Se analizaron mediante SPSS versión 21 para Windows. RESULTADOS: La adherencia aumentó de un 37% en 2011 a un 57,8% en 2019. El cumplimiento en los 5 momentos fue más alto después del contacto con el paciente que antes de este. El personal de enfermería fue uno de grupos con mayor cumplimiento. CONCLUSIONES: Aunque han mejorado, se necesita mantener los niveles de cumplimiento, y aumentarlos sobre todo en momentos tan cruciales como antes de realizar una técnica aséptica. La formación y la implementación de estrategias son clave.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to assess the nursing workload at admission to and discharge from intensive care of three groups of patients (i.e., acute coronary syndrome, acute respiratory failure, and sepsis). A prospective, descriptive study was performed over a 27-month period and included 563 patients. The workload was assessed using the Nursing Activities Score scale. Significant differences in the workload were determined on the days of admission and discharge: the workload was higher in both cases for patients with acute respiratory failure and sepsis compared with patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome. This difference was maintained over the first seven days of their hospital stay. From day 8 on, the difference disappeared, and a workload balance was achieved in the three groups. Good staffing requires adequate tools for measuring care needs and understanding the workload required in the groups of patients who are most frequently admitted to intensive care.

ABSTRACT

Se objetivó valorizar la carga de trabajo al ingreso y al alta en tres grupos de pacientes (síndrome coronario agudo, insuficiencia respiratoria aguda y sepsis) en terapia intensiva. Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo, de 27 meses, incluyéndose 563 pacientes, valorando carga de trabajo según Nursing Activities Score. Existieron diferencias significativas en la carga de trabajo al ingreso y en el alta entre los grupos de pacientes, siendo superior en ambos momentos la de pacientes con insuficiencia respiratoria aguda y sepsis frente a pacientes coronarios. Durante los siete primeros días de estancia se mantuvo esta diferencia, desapareciendo a partir del octavo día, equilibrándose la carga de trabajo para los tres grupos. Para conseguir una adecuada dotación de personal es fundamental contar con instrumentos para medir las necesidades de cuidados y conocer la carga de trabajo de los distintos grupos de enfermos que ingresan con mayor frecuencia en las unidades de terapia intensiva.


O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a carga de trabalho na admissão e alta dos pacientes de três grupos (síndrome coronária aguda, insuficiência respiratória aguda e sepsis) em cuidados intensivos. Trata-se de estudo prospectivo, descritivo, que decorreu durante 27 meses, incluindo 563 pacientes. Para a avaliação da carga de trabalho utilizou-se a escala Nursing Activities Score. A partir dos resultados do estudo parecem existir diferenças significativas na carga de trabalho no dia da admissão e alta entre os grupos de pacientes, sendo a carga maior em ambos os tempos a dos pacientes com insuficiência respiratória aguda e sepsis. Durante os primeiros sete dias de internamento essa diferença manteve-se, desaparecendo no oitavo dia, o que equilibrou a carga de trabalho para os três grupos. Conclui-se que para se conseguir os recursos adequados é essencial dispor de instrumentos para medir as necessidades de cuidados e conhecer a carga de trabalho dos diferentes grupos de pacientes que passam com mais frequência pelas unidades de cuidados intensivos.
