Long-term care facilities (LTCFs) may serve as a reservoir for multi-resistant bacteria. Hand disinfection with alcohol-based rubs is a simple tool for controlling cross-contamination between patients and preventing healthcare-associated infections. our aim was to promote the use of alcohol-based hand rubs. The multidisciplinary team succeeded in promoting hand hygiene in LTCFs, which was sustained over the three-year follow-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
