Educational intervention on biosafety with hospital hygiene and cleaning workers.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention with hospital cleaning and sanitizing workers in protecting against injuries caused by biological agents. this was a prospective, quasi-experimental, before-and-after study with a single group, analyzing workers' behavior regarding adherence to standard precautions. Data was collected from 106 cleaning and sanitizing workers through a demographic and occupational questionnaire and a knowledge and behavioral survey on preventing diseases caused by biological agents. Participants' behavior related to biosafety was observed before and after the educational intervention. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. 77.4% of the workers are female and approximately 42% have worked for up to a year. As for the level of education, 39.6% had completed high school and 29.2% had incomplete primary education. The median score for adherence to standard precautions: pre-intervention 14 points and post-intervention 17 points. Among the observations before dressing, adherence to hand hygiene with soap and water rose from 41.7% to 75.0% after the intervention. the educational intervention, based on theoretical-practical workshops and active methodologies, improved adherence to biosafety practices, as evidenced by both reported behavior and direct observation. The leadership and commitment of hospital managers are crucial for the continuity of education and biosafety practices, ensuring the safety of professionals and patients. Future studies should focus on the health of hospital cleaning and sanitizing workers, including educational programs and the relationship between their activities and patient safety against infections in healthcare services.
