Upon completion of this training module, long-term care staff will be able to demonstrate a working knowledge of:
• why hand hygiene is so important to prevent the spread of infections;
• when and how to perform hand hygiene; and
• key hand hygiene practices for prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HAI), particularly catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).
Learning Objectives

Simplifying the Moments for Hand Hygiene

Alcohol-based Hand Rub (ABHR)Hand Hygiene Technique
• Apply hand rub to palm of hand
• Rub hands together, covering all surfaces
• Focus on thumbs, tips of fingers, and under fingernails
• Hands are clean when dry
– Usually takes about 15-20 seconds

Soap and Water Hand WashingHand Hygiene Technique
• Wet hands with water
• Apply soap to palm of hand
• Rub hands together, covering all surfaces for at least 15 seconds
• Rinse hands with water
• Dry hands with paper towel and use towel to turn off faucet
– Paper towel prevents hands from being re-contaminated by faucet handles

Notes About Hand Hygiene Products
• Alcohol-based hand rubs/gels are preferred for hang hygiene when hands are not visibly soiled or dirty
• There are certain times when hands should be washed with soap (non-antimicrobial or antimicrobial) and water:
• When hands are visibly dirty, contaminated or soiled
• After care with residents with infectious diarrhea

Hand Hygiene and C. diff
• Hand hygiene with soap and water is superior at removing the spore form of C. diff (compared to alcohol-based products)
• AHBR is more effective for hand disinfection with all other organisms and there have been no studies linking ABHR use with an increase in C. diff infection
• Encourage soap and water after care of residents with acute diarrhea and use of gowns/gloves to prevent spore contamination of hands

Important Points About Glove Use
• Gloves play a key role in preventing hand contamination—but, do NOT replace hand hygiene
• Change gloves during care when moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site
• Do not wear the same pair of gloves for the care of more than one resident
• Remove and discard gloves after use• Do not wash gloves

Hand Hygiene Before Urinary Catheter Care
Perform hand hygiene and wear gloves immediately before:
• Placing or removing an indwelling catheter.
• Accessing the drainage system to empty the drainage bag or collecting a urine
sample.
Why?• Interacting with the resident or environment before
handling the urinary device, may contaminate hands.
• Reaching for gloves with unclean hands may contaminate the glove box and outside of the gloves.
• Then, gloves will contaminate the urinary catheter or urine collection system.

Hand Hygiene After Urinary Catheter Care
Remove gloves and perform hand hygiene immediately after:
• Handling an indwelling catheter
• Accessing the drainage system to empty the drainage bag or collecting a urine sample
Why?• Hand contamination may occur as a result of
small, undetected holes in gloves.
• Hand contamination may occur during glove removal.
• Hand hygiene protects your hands and the environment from being contaminated.

Hand Hygiene Case Scenarios
Let’s chat!
Review as a group the three hand hygiene case scenarios. As you discuss them, think about the following questions:
• Does our facility staff experience similar challenges to performing hand hygiene at the appropriate times? Why or why not?
• What could our facility do to reduce barriers to hand hygiene?
• How can I help support a culture of safety around improving hand hygiene in our facility?
