Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that hand-hygiene compliance rates remain low, especially in high-risk patient areas such as the intensive care unit (ICU). Strategies that use active surveillance, peer-to-peer coaching and collective action can potentially improve hand-hygiene compliance rates.
AIM: To implement the hand-hygiene champion (HHC) role to increase hand-hygiene compliance rates in the ICU.
METHODS: The hand-hygiene champion role was implemented as a quality improvement project in the critical care directorate of two tertiary hospital sites in the UK. The project followed the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle. The project was carried out from February 2025 to February 2026.
FINDINGS: Hand-hygiene compliance rates were significantly higher in the intervention group with HHCs, compared with the control group. In addition, hand-hygiene compliance rates significantly increased over time, post implementation of HHCs.
CONCLUSION: Introducing HHCs can potentially improve hand-hygiene compliance in ICUs.
