  • Title: Effects of peer monitoring and peer feedback on hand hygiene in surgical intensive care unit and step-down units.
    Author: Langston M.
    Journal: J Nurs Care Qual; 2011; 26(1):49-53. PubMed ID: 22914666.
    Abstract:
    Attempts to increase hand hygiene compliance of health care workers solely through education have met with mixed success. A peer-monitoring and feedback intervention was evaluated to determine the effectiveness in increasing hand hygiene among health care staff at a large teaching hospital. Comparisons of pre- (n = 263) and post- (n = 253) observations revealed that the intervention had a significant effect on increasing hand hygiene compliance after nonpatient contact in a patient's room (P = .006).
