Gregory A. Doyle, M.D. (from West Virginia University in Morgantown), and his colleagues tested a new approach involving patient and physician hand washing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Clinicians offered sanitizer to the patient and used the sanitizer to wash their own hands in front of the patient.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Data were included from 384 questionnaires: 184 from phase 1 (pre-intervention) and 200 from phase 2 (post-intervention).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The researchers found that, according to patients, doctors washed their hands 96.6 and 99.5 percent of the time before examining them pre-intervention and post-intervention, respectively.<\/p>\n

Overall, 98.7 percent of the time patients endorsed the importance of hand washing.<\/p>\n

“Further research is recommended to determine whether ‘co-washing’ enhances clinic hand washing or hand washing at home by patients, and whether it can reduce infection rates,” the authors write.<\/p>\n
