TL;DR: Implementation of a HHP reduces preventable HAIs and is cost effective, and the disease severity score increased during the intervention period, but there was no discernable impact on HAI rates in the hematology/oncology wards.

Melissa Ward,Marin L. Schweizer,Philip M. Polgreen,Kalpana Gupta,Heather Schacht Reisinger,Eli N. Perencevich +5 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of the existing evidence surrounding the adoption and accuracy of automated systems or electronically enhanced direct observations and the effectiveness of such systems in health care settings finds limited data are currently available to recommend adoption of specific automatic or electronically assisted hand hygiene surveillance systems.

Preoperative chlorhexidine shower or bath for prevention of surgical site infection: a meta-analysis.
Maciej Piotr Chlebicki,Nasia Safdar,Nasia Safdar,John C. O’Horo,Dennis G. Maki,Dennis G. Maki +5 more
TL;DR: Meta-analysis of available clinical trials suggests no appreciable benefit of preoperative whole-body chlorhexidine bathing for prevention of SSI, and better designed trials with a specified duration and frequency of exposed patients are needed.

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.
