Increasing healthcare workers' compliance with hand hygiene guidelines remains a challenge to the clinical community. In order to reduce healthcare-associated infections, it is important to educate student nurses to comply with the guidelines during clinical placements. Identifying student nurses' hand hygiene performance is the first step towards developing teaching methods to improve and sustain their overall and moment-specific compliance. As a measure to ensure student compliance during clinical placements, mentors should be aware of their influence on students' performance, act as hand hygiene ambassadors, encourage students to comply with established guidelines and provide regular feedback.
En betydelig del av sykepleierutdanningen foregår i de kliniske studiene, veiledet av sykepleiere. Denne studien er utført for å forstå studentopplevelsene, hvordan de lærer å bruke håndhygieniske prinsipper i kliniske studier. Vi brukte et beskrivende og utforskende design med fokusgruppeintervjuer. Dataene ble analysert ved hjelp av kvalitativ innholdsanalyse. Analysen resulterte i to hovedtemaer, både faktorer som fremmet og hemmet studentlæring. Tydelige retningslinjer prosedyrer samt støttende og oppmuntrende tilbakemeldinger fra veiledere fremmet læring. Mangel på håndhygienefasiliteter, tidspress, komplekse læringssituasjoner, tilstrekkelig anerkjennelse og veiledernes manglende overholdelse, var hemmende faktorer. Studien viser at sykepleiere i klinisk praksis var forbilder for studentene og viktig for å lære de riktige håndhygieniske prinsipper i klinisk praksis
