Electronic hand hygiene monitoring: accuracy, impact on the Hawthorne effect and efficiency.
TL;DR: The 84% agreement between the EMS and the manual observation suggest a high level of precision for the evaluated system, and the Hawthorne effect was clearly seen in the increase by a factor of three in the manually observed adherence from session to session.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An innovative sanitation strategy based on the use of probiotic bacteria capable of reducing in a stable way the surface load of pathogens and their AMR is reported, suggesting that this system might contribute significantly to AMR control and might be thus considered as one of the tools for AMR and infection prevention and control.

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.
