Stakeholders’ perceptions towards patients’ participation in promoting hand hygiene among health care workers in Wakiso district, Uganda

20246 citationsOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

Patients are reluctant to remind health workers to practice hand hygiene, because they feel it is confrontational and embarrassing, while health care workers find it offensive. Patient involvement seems to threaten patient-provider relationships. However patient empowerment was reported to be critical in promoting it and this is in-line with the hand hygiene guidelines.
