Other related information

This study is a retrospective observational research. It introduces a direct observation method based on WHO's 'Five Moments for Hand Hygiene' and evaluates its effect on behavior change. The primary outcome measure is the hand hygiene compliance rate before and after in-hospital infection control training sessions, analyzed by profession (dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and dental residents). The secondary outcome measure is the annual trend in alcohol-based hand sanitizer consumption. This study aims to elucidate the accuracy of the direct observation method, the Hawthorne effect, and its impact on healthcare workers' behavior.
