Factors that influence healthcare staff's adherence to hygiene routines in hospitals : a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund Bristande handhygien hos hälso-och sjukvårdspersonal bidrar till smittspridning och ökade kostnader för hälso-och sjukvården. Hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalen har en avgörande roll i att minska smittspridningen med hjälp av noggrant genomförd handhygien. Trots att kunskap i ämnet finns så brister handhygienen och patienterna beroende av sjukvård drabbas av vårdskador i samband med vård och behandling.

Syfte Syftet är att beskriva faktorer som påverkar vårdpersonalens följsamhet av hygienrutiner på sjukhus.

Metod En litteraturöversikt har genomförts med 13 vetenskapliga artiklar som publicerats under tidsperioden 2012–2024 i databaserna CINAHL och PubMed.

Resultat I litteraturöversiktens resultats del kunde tre huvudkategorier hittas: verksamhetsfaktorer, arbetsfaktorer och personliga faktorer. Utifrån dessa tre huvudkategorier kunde åtta underkategorier identifieras. Kategorierna präglas av alltifrån personliga faktorer som glömska och preferenser. Till organisationsfaktorer där bland annat resursbrist och bristande rutiner beskrivs.

Slutsats Det breda spektrumet av påverkande faktorer kan förebyggas och åtgärdas genom kunskap och strukturimplementering. På så vis skulle följsamheten till hygienrutiner öka och patientsäkerheten främjas. 

Abstract [en]

Background Insufficient hand hygiene in healthcare contributes to the spread of infection and increased costs for the healthcare system. Healthcare professionals have a decisive role in reducing the spread of infection with the help of carefully implemented hand hygiene, even though there is knowledge on the subject, hand hygiene is lacking and patients dependent on medical care suffer from health care related injuries.

Aim The aim is to describe factors that influence healthcare staff's adherence to hygiene routines in hospitals.

Method A literature review has been carried out with 13 scientific articles published during theperiod 2012–2024 in the databases CINAHL and PubMed.

Results In the results section of the literature review, three main categories could be found: institutional factors, work factors and personal factors. Based on these three main categories, eight subcategories could be identified. The categories are characterized by everything from personal factors such as forgetfulness and preferences. To organizational factors where,among other things, lack of resources and inadequate routines are described.

Conclusions The broad spectrum of factors can be prevented and solved with knowledge and implementation of structures. With that the adherence to hygiene routines could increase and the patient safety would be promoted.
