Description / Abstract
Hand hygiene compliance has shown to be low in both the healthcare and public setting. This study evaluates the rates of hand hygiene compliance of a regular hand sanitizer dispenser to one with a positive reinforcement visual usage count. Each machine was individually observed for cafeteria visitor's hand hygiene usage or refusal. Observation found that 7.4% accepted hand sanitizer from the regular dispenser, while 16.0% accepted hand sanitizer from the positive reinforcement dispenser. The hand sanitizer dispenser with a positive reinforcement visual count received significantly higher usage (p<0.001). Findings were discussed in light of healthcare-associated infections and infectious disease spread.
