Background and current state of the subject: It is important to remember that one of
the issues of most interest about the public health is the healthcare-associated infections
(HAIs), and, thus, those acquired on a surgical intervention too. The security process in
any hospital areas is essential, among which we find handwashing.
It is still not clear which handwashing method is most effective. Nowadays, in clinical
practices there is much variability between methods, so, this present research work
expects to investigate the efficiency of the handwashing methodology before the surgical
interventions using a hydroalcoholic solution comparing it to the traditional method.
Improving the surgical handwashing preparation using the most effective methodology,
will imply a decrease of the nosocomial infections and those related with the healthcare.
Objectives: The main goal of this project is to compare the efficacy through the
hydroalcoholic solution handwashing method against the traditional method prior to the
surgical interventions done at the Hospital Universitari Doctor Josep Trueta. The specific
goals are: to describe the knowledge of the professional nurses related to the
handwashing in the surgical areas, to determine the type of intervention and its length
during the time of study, suing the two methods, and value if one method or the other
prior to the surgery has influence on the emergence of the nosocomial infections in the
operating room.
Methodology: we propose the realization of a descriptive prospective and transverse
research. This study will be performed at the Hospital Universitari Doctor Josep Trueta,
and the sample will be gathered through a non-probabilistic process. The studied
population will include members of the orthopedic and traumatology surgery team of this
same hospital, meaning the adjunct doctors, and the residents who conduct the surgical
interventions and the instrumentalists nurse and all the operated patient during this time
of study. Bearing in mind that for every intervention there are always three sanitary
professionals that would participate in the study, a sample of 60 professionals will be
chosen, and all the patients they operate on, during that period. The primary variables
that will be studied are: the sanitary professional’s handwashing following the WHO
recommendations, the patients who have undergone surgery, the intraoperative process
and the infection of the surgical room. The tool used to gather all the data will be a
10
questionnaire that will be filled out through the direct observation and the medical history
of the patient
