Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the cleaning quality of frequently touched object surfaces in a hospital, so as to formulate effective evidencebased intervention measures.MethodsFrequently touched object surfaces in common wards, operating rooms, and intensive care unit(ICU) of the hospital between October 2014 and February 2015 were labeled by fluorescent adhesive agents 1-2 times a week, objects were labeled before patients’ discharge and at the end of operation, cleaning quality of frequently touched object surfaces were checked after routine cleaning.ResultsA total of 2 131 object surfaces were monitored, fluorescent adhesive agents on 1 732 objects were cleared, clearance rate was 81.3%，hygienic clean was qualified. 642,650,and 839 objects surfaces in common wards, operating rooms, and ICU were monitored respectively, the clearance rates were 82.1%,75.8%,and 84.9% respectively, the clearance rates among three wards were significantly different (χ2 =19.964，P＜0.001）. In common wards, fluorescent clearance rates of call buttons, power switches, and equipments were 51.3%,55.2%, and 58.5% respectively; in operating room, fluorescent clearance rates of room wall, control panel of anesthesia machine, bedadjusting device, keyboards, and infusion pumps were 38.6%,48.8%,60.0%,61.3%,and 68.4%，respectively; in ICU, fluorescent clearance rates of equipments was 65.9%, all were unqualified.ConclusionThe environmental hygiene quality is generally qualified in this hospital, but the cleaning quality of frequently touched object surfaces needs to be further improved.
