Hand Hygiene Compliance by Role Before and After Intervention in a Tertiary Hospital

From December 2024 to September 2025, this mixed-methods study collected 9,767 hand hygiene observations and 275 survey responses from healthcare workers at Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology. It was authored by Na Li and evaluates compliance across roles before and after a CFIR-guided intervention, linking results to hospital-acquired infection rates.

Use Cases

• Analyzing differences in hand hygiene compliance based on healthcare worker role (physician, nurse, support staff).
• Evaluating the effectiveness of a role-stratified intervention on compliance rates and hospital-acquired infection (HAI) rates.
• Identifying key barriers to compliance using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
• Modeling the relationship between knowledge scores and observed hand hygiene behavior.

Strengths

• Includes 9,767 direct observations providing a substantial behavioral baseline.
• Integrates quantitative data (observations, surveys) with qualitative insights from 15 semi-structured interviews.
• Reports specific outcome metrics, including compliance rates by role and a reduction in HAI rates from 3.05 to 1.66 per 1,000 patient-days.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single tertiary hospital, which may limit generalizability.
