Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a problem in health care worldwide. In Sweden 7-8% of all patients treated in hospital suffer from an adverse event of varying severity, of which approximately 60,000 from a HAI. Proper hand hygiene is considered the single most important measure to reduce HAI. Despite the importance, adherence to correct hand hygiene routines are lacking among healthcare workers (HCWs). The World Health Organizations (WHO) multimodal promotion strategy promotes areas that need to be addressed in order to change the behaviour of individual HCWs to optimise adherence to hand hygiene and to improve patient safety. These areas include feedback, education, reminders at the workplace and institutional safety climate. The overall aim of this study was to examine the possibility of adherence to hand hygiene routines and to explore factors that might influence the HCWs adherence. The study used a descriptive research design made through qualitative method, with focus group interviews, and quantitative method, using a questionnaire survey. Eight focus group interviews were conducted with assistant nurses (n=18), nurses (n=15) and physicians (n=5) and analysed with abductive qualitative content analysis. The questionnaire survey was answered by nurses (n=84) and nursing students in their first semester (n=71) and last semester (n=46) and the data was statistically analysed.The main findings show that there are barriers to hand hygiene adherence and measures to improve these. HCWs highlighted discrepancies regarding how the organisation was supposed to give feedback and how it actually was at the workplace and expressed needs for more direct feedback to improve adherence. The study also found that hygienic knowledge gaps exists among nurses and nursing students regarding causes of HAI and how the risk of contamination of patients and HCWs can be minimized among others. Students at the beginning of the education had a lower level of knowledge than last semester students and registered nurses. The last semester students tended to have the highest level of hand hygiene knowledge. In conclusion, the key areas presented by WHO’s multimodal promotion strategy to improve adherence all lack the appropriate measures, in some extent. The use of an electronic reminder system could give the means to improve a behaviour as long as the individual integrity is protected and development of curriculums for nursing students and continuing education of nurses is needed to further develop and maintaining knowledge.
