Background : despite the concerns and the importance of hand washing to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections, noncompliance with hand washing guidelines is still a universal problem.
objectives : to evaluate the compliance with hand washing guidelines among a group of Jordanian military dentists and, to assess factors influencing compliance.
methods : cross-sectional study based on self-administered questionnaire was conducted on 100 military dentists working in the dental corps of the royal medical services – Jordan armed forces.
the questionnaire comprised four categories: (1) general information; (2) assessment of hand washing compliance; (3) availability of hand washing supplies; (4) awareness of taking medical history and reviewing the infection control policy.
results : all dentists in the study washed their hands for a minimum of 15 seconds.
washing hands before and after contact with each patient, before donning and after removing gloves comprised 78% and 53%.
during dental treatment, only 14% of dentists wore jewelry, and 59% considered the type of hand lotion they used.
with increased dental experience, dentists significantly washed their hands before donning and after removing gloves (p value 0.01), and significantly scrubbed their hands before surgery (p value 0.04).
dental supplies and surgical scrubs were deficient.
67% of dentists routinely obtained medical history of infectious diseases, while only 18% reviewed the infection control policy.
conclusion : the overall compliance with hand washing guidelines among military dentists in Jordan was 65.7%.
while gender and scientific rank had no effect on hand washing compliance, increasing dental experience significantly improved some items (list them: washing hands bofore donning and after removing gloves and, hand scrubbing before surgery) of hand washing practice.
