Hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers before and after a CFIR-guided role-stratified intervention: a mixed-methods study in a tertiary hospital.

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
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers of different roles, identify key barriers using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), and assess the effectiveness of a CFIR-guided stratified intervention in a tertiary hospital. Methods: An exploratory sequential mixed-methods study was conducted at Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, from December 2024 to September 2025. The observational phase included 9,767 non-announced direct observation hand hygiene observations and a survey of 275 staff (71 physicians, 173 nurses, 31 support staff), supplemented by 15 semi-structured interviews. A six-month CFIR-guided intervention was then implemented, incorporating role-specific training sessions, data-driven feedback, visual reminders, and position-based supervision tailored to physicians, nurses, and support staff. Outcomes included hand hygiene compliance and correctness, knowledge scores, and hospital-acquired infection (HAI) rates. Results: At baseline, compliance differed by role: nurses 81.6%, physicians 72.6%, and support staff 39.3% ( Conclusion: Hand hygiene compliance varies substantially across healthcare worker roles, with support staff representing a critical gap. A CFIR-guided, stratified intervention was associated with increases in compliance and correctness, particularly at high-risk moments, and reduced HAI incidence, suggesting its potential value as a sustainable framework for hospital-wide infection prevention.
