How do researchers conceptualize and plan for the sustainability of their NIH R01 implementation projects
Alekhya Mascarenhas Johnson,Julia E. Moore,David A. Chambers,Jennifer Rup,Camellia Dinyarian,Sharon E. Straus,Sharon E. Straus +6 more
TL;DR: The results identified the need to test, consolidate, and provide guidance on how to operationalize sustainability frameworks, and to develop strategies on how funders and researchers can advance sustainability research.

Interventions to improve healthcare workers' hand hygiene compliance: A systematic review of systematic reviews.
Lesley Price,Jennifer MacDonald,Lucyna Gozdzielewska,Tracey E. Howe,Paul Flowers,Lesley Shepherd,Yvonne Watt,Jacqui Reilly +7 more
TL;DR: The evidence is sufficient to recommend the implementation of interventions to improve HCW HHC (except for monitoring technology), but it is insufficient to make specific recommendations regarding the content or how the content should be delivered.

Effect of electronic real-time prompting on hand hygiene behaviors in health care workers.
TL;DR: Use of electronic monitoring with real‐time prompts of 20 seconds' duration nearly doubles handwashing activity and causes handwashing to occur sooner after entering a patient room when they are prompted.

Intensive care physicians' and nurses' perception that hand hygiene prevents pathogen transmission: Belief strength and associations with other cognitive factors.
B Lutze,Iris F. Chaberny,Karolin Graf,Christian Krauth,Karin Lange,Laura Schwadtke,Jona T. Stahmeyer,Thomas von Lengerke +7 more
TL;DR: In both groups, the transmission-preventive belief was associated with high response efficacy, behavioural intention and self-efficacy, but not with self-rated knowledge, and hand hygiene interventions targeting risk reduction beliefs may promote high motivation,but not action control.

Simulation education as a single intervention does not improve hand hygiene practices: A randomized controlled follow-up study.
Miia M. Jansson,Miia M. Jansson,Hannu Syrjälä,Pasi Ohtonen,Merja Meriläinen,Helvi Kyngäs,Tero Ala-Kokko +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated how critical nurses' knowledge of and adherence to current care hand hygiene guidelines differ between randomly allocated intervention and control groups before and after simulation education in both a simulation setting and clinical practice during a 2-year follow-up period.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.

TL;DR: The results indicated that feedback may be more effective when baseline performance is low, the source is a supervisor or colleague, it is provided more than once, and the role of context and the targeted clinical behaviour was assessed.

TL;DR: Results of this multistate prevalence survey of health care-associated infections indicate that public health surveillance and prevention activities should continue to address C. difficile infections.
