Star Point 2: Summary (Evidence to support the need for a change)
Describe the practice problem in your own words and formulate your PICOT question.
Most of the hospital-acquired infections that patients get are transmitted and caused by poor hand hygiene of healthcare workers.
Population- Admitted patients Intervention – Hand Hygiene Protocol Comparison – Lack of hand hygiene Outcome – Reduced HAs
Time – Admission period.
List the systematic review chosen from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from the Chamberlain library. Type the complete APA reference for the systematic review selected.

List and briefly describe other sources used for data and information. List any otheroptional scholarly source used as a supplement to the systematic review in APA format.

In this source, the scholars of the main article used the literature therein to affirm on the problem of HAIs in the hospital.
Tan, A. K., Jr., and Olivio, J. (2015). Assessing healthcare-associated infections and hand hygiene perceptions amongst healthcare professionals. International Journal of Caring Sciences, vol. 8, no. 1, pp. 108–114.
In this source, the scholars asserted the significance of hand hygiene protocol and the need to change the perceptions of the healthcare professionals towards it.
Briefly summarize the main findings (in your own words) from the systematic review and the strength of the evidence.
From the article, Andriani and Nadjib (2018) assert that the use of hand hygiene remains to be the most effective approach to addressing the continued crisis of HAIs in healthcare settings. When the healthcare professionals ensure a high level of hygiene in their hands, it eliminates chances of acquiring and transmitting disease-causing organisms such as bacteria. Handling different patients exposes healthcare professionals to a wide range of disease-causing organisms and especially bacteria. If there is no hand hygiene within the healthcare facility, healthcare provides transmit the disease to the patient.
The strength of the evidence is based on the fact that the scholars relied on 11 high-quality research articles undertaken in different regions of the world such as Europe, Asia, Middle East, China, and Thailand. This shows that the findings derived from the studies in these areas were representative and independent of each other.
Outline one or two evidence-based solutionsyou will consider for the trial project.
Hand hygiene protocol among healthcare providers attending to the admitted patients.
