Introduction:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, adherence to hygiene measures is an objective aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality.
Objective:
To evaluate adherence to hand hygiene and protection measures during the COVID-19 pandemic in a tertiary care hospital.
Methods:
Cross-sectional study on health personnel handwashing at the five moments recommended by the World Health Organization, as well as on the use of specific personal protective equipment.
Results:
One hundred and seventeen hand hygiene opportunities were observed in health personnel. Hand washing was observed in 40 (34 %) and omission in 76 (65 %). Adherence to the use of face shield was observed in five (4 %), and lack of adherence in 112 (96%). Adherence to the use of face mask was observed in 65 nursing professionals (87 %), with appropriate use of the mask in 56 of them (60 %) and use of face shield in one (1 %).
Conclusion:
