Introduction: Adherence to infection control practices are crucial for neonatal care.Objectives: To describe the adherence to clean birth and postnatal care practices by healthcare workers in selected procedures in major hospitals in a district of Sri Lanka Methods:This was a qualitative observational study. The study sample comprised healthcare workers (doctors, nurses and midwives) attached to the labour room (LR), postnatal ward (PNW), neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and operating theatre (OT). A total of 70 healthcare workers from the LR, 90 from the PNW, 50 from the NICU and 60 from the OT were assessed in relation to each procedure they carried out. Four checklists were used to record the observations on infection control standards. The performance of each healthcare worker for each specific procedure was observed only once. Results:Hand washing practices among the healthcare workers in LR, NICU, PNW and OT varied, with better practices seen in NICU and PNW. Recapping of the needles was done by 18.6%, 18.0% and 31.2% in LR, NICU and PNW, respectively. Disposal of sharps to the bin was done by almost all healthcare workers in the LR, NICU and PNW, respectively. All the healthcare workers used 70% alcohol to disinfect the skin, of whom the majority used povidone iodine when drawing blood samples for blood culture in the NICU. Changing or washing gloves before cutting the umbilical cord was observed in the majority of healthcare workers in LR and the minority in OT. Conclusions:Adherence to infection control standards by healthcare workers in observed procedures was not up to the standard.

“…, porém estudos observacionais evidenciam que a adesão dos profissionais de saúde à HM é inferior a 50%, variando entre diferentes áreas da assistência, categorias profissionais e condições de trabalho (2)(3)(4) . Entre essas áreas estão as Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), nas quais pacientes graves são assistidos, submetidos a procedimentos invasivos e expostos ao risco de sofrerem agravos, como as infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde (IRAS).…”

Estudo descritivo e analítico cujo objetivo foi compreender fatores relacionados à prática da higienização das mãos. Participaram 40 profissionais de enfermagem de um hospital de ensino da capital paranaense, no período de Abr a maio de 2007. Realizou-se entrevista semiestruturada baseada no Modelo de Crenças em Saúde; a análise dos dados foi realizada com auxílio de estatística descritiva e recortes dos depoimentos foram utilizados para ilustrar a opinião e valor atribuídos à prática de higienização de mãos. A maioria referiu ter participado de treinamento sobre o tema em estudo, reconheceram sua importância e a própria suscetibilidade a infecções, citaram como beneficio a prevenção desses egravos e apontaram como barreiras a falta de conhecimento e as lesões cutâneas decorrentes da higienização das mãos. O Modelo de Crenças em Saúde proporcionou reconhecimento da realidade local e pode contribuir para o planejamento das ações que visem a promoção da higienização de mãos.

“…PPE compliance rates in this study were consistent with previous studies. 2,8 However, it is important to note that our study found higher PPE compliance rates among medical staff than nursing staff. Although this facility's policy required HCWs to don PPE for contact precaution rooms, all HCWs in the safe zone were less compliant with PPE when compared with HCWs outside of the safe zone.…”
