Objective To investigate the effect of standardized hand-washing spectrum for the improvement of the hand-wash-ing hygiene rate for hepatobiliary surgery medical staff.Methods The standardized surgical hand-washing spectrum was developed in accordance with the requirements of pre-surgical hand-washing procedures,hand-washing of operation table distribution and hand-wash-ing after removing surgical gloves,as specified in《the Technical Standards for Disinfection》(the Ministry of Health of the People′s Re-public of China)and 《the Technical Standards for Nosocomial Infection Management》(the General Logistics Department of PLA).Four hundred surgical personnel involved in surgeries were enrolled for the study and were randomized into the experimental group and the control group,each consisting of 200 people.The surgical personnel in the experimental group washed their hands as required by the standardized hand-washing spectrum,and those in the control group washed their hands with conventional methods or by experience. Results The qualification rates of hand-washing procedures and hand hygiene in the medical personnel of the experimental group were all significantly higher than those of the control group.The positive rate of bacteriological detection and the incidence of nosocomial in-fection in the surgical patients of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group,and statistical significance could be seen,when comparisons were made between the 2 groups (P <0.01).Conclusion The standardized hand-washing spectrum,which was simple and practical for use,could increase the qualification rate of hand hygiene in the medical staff.
