| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Hand hygiene is crucial to prevent nosocomial infections, with the hands of professionals and patients being significant vectors of transmission. The objective of this study was to evaluate adherence to hand hygiene at the Rafael Méndez General University Hospital during the years 2016 to 2022. Methodology: An observational and descriptive study was carried out in medical-surgical hospitalization units, collecting annual data using the Hand Hygiene Technique Observation Form provided by the World Health Organization (WHO). The sample consisted of 1097 professionals. Results: A total of 5416 opportunities were analyzed. The results showed an improvement in hand hygiene through 2021, with a reduction in omission from 64% in 2016 to an overall compliance of 55% in 2020 and 2021. However, in 2022 a significant decline will be observed with 79% of omission. The evolution varied depending on the moment and the category observed. Conclusion: Adherence to hand hygiene at the Rafael Méndez General University Hospital has shown a positive trend with a gradual annual increase until 2021, highlighting 2020 as a turning point. However, the relaxation of post-pandemic measures has decreased compliance. It is recommended to continue promoting training and evaluation actions to improve hand hygiene among health professionals.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: La higiene de manos es crucial para prevenir infecciones nosocomiales, siendo las manos de profesionales y pacientes vectores significativos de transmisión. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la adherencia a la higiene de manos en el Hospital General Universitario Rafael Méndez durante los años 2016 a 2022. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio observacional y descriptivo en unidades de hospitalización médicoquirúrgicas, recolectando datos anuales utilizando el Formulario de observación de la técnica de higiene de manos que proporciona la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). La muestra estuvo constituida por 1097 profesionales. Resultados: Se analizaron un total de 5416 oportunidades. Los resultados mostraron una mejora en la higiene de manos hasta 2021, con una reducción en la omisión del 64% en 2016 a un cumplimiento global del 55% en 2020 y 2021. Sin embargo, en 2022 se observó un retroceso significativo con un 79% de omisión. La evolución varió según el momento y la categoría observada. Conclusión: La adhesión a la higiene de manos en el Hospital General Universitario Rafael Méndez ha mostrado una tendencia positiva con un incremento gradual anual hasta 2021, destacando el año 2020 como punto de inflexión. No obstante, la relajación de medidas postpandemia ha disminuido el cumplimiento. Se recomienda continuar promoviendo acciones de formación y evaluación para mejorar la higiene de manos entre los profesionales de salud. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
