Consumption of alcohol-based hand rub in French nursing homes: results from a nationwide survey, 2018-2019. 2021
Centre d'appui à la prévention des infections associées aux soins Grand Est, Nancy, France; National Center for the Surveillance and Prevention of the Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare Associated Infections in Primary Cares and Nursing Homes, PRIMO, France.
This study assessed the hand hygiene performance in French nursing homes using the consumption of alcohol-based hand rubs (AHRs) as a surrogate. Nursing homes from the 17 French regions were contacted to collect their AHR consumption and occupancy in 2018 and 2019. A total of 1290 nursing homes from 15 French regions participated in the survey. The estimated median number of hand hygiene actions per resident-day was 1.48 (interquartile range: 1.04-2.03) in 2018 and 1.60 (1.10-2.26) in 2019. A significantly higher AHR consumption was observed in public nursing homes with an infection control team or link nurse.
