Implication

Case-control study shows significant improvements in hygiene practices among healthcare staff, suggesting effective community-centered strategies.

Key Points

  • The kutuba campaign significantly improved handwashing practices, with respondents at exposed facilities 6.27 times more likely to follow proper steps.
  • Odds of proper hand drying jumped to 3.71 times higher among staff in facilities that participated in the kutuba campaign versus those that did not.
  • Waste management practices, including the presence of incinerators, were better in healthcare facilities involved in the campaign compared to non-exposed ones.
  • However, no significant differences were identified in time spent on hand washing and frequency of surface cleaning in both groups.
