Background

[Example: "Hand-hygiene compliance in intensive care units remains below 60% despite training. We tested whether real-time visual reminders at the bedside improve compliance."]

Methods

[Example: "Before-after study in two 20-bed ICUs over 16 weeks. Compliance was measured by trained observers using a standard five-moments audit (2,940 opportunities). Rates were compared with a chi-square test."]

Results

[Example: "Compliance rose from 54.2% (797/1,470) before to 71.8% (1,055/1,470) after the reminders were introduced, an absolute increase of 17.6 percentage points (95% CI 14.1 to 21.0; p < .001). The effect was largest before aseptic tasks (+24.5 points)."]

Conclusions

[Example: "Bedside visual reminders were associated with a substantial rise in hand-hygiene compliance. A cluster-randomised trial is planned to confirm the effect."]

Keywords: [3-5 terms, for example hand hygiene; infection prevention; intensive care; behavioural nudges]
