Effectiveness of Alcohol-Based Hand Rubs in Glove Hygiene: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
Abstract: Introduction: Hand hygiene is crucial for preventing hospital-acquired infections, though gloves have been reported to curb the spread of infection, but they have their limitation. While recommended for specific procedures, they don't guarantee complete protection and frequent changes are resource limiting. This study investigates the potential of alcohol-based hand rubs (ABHR) for disinfecting gloves worn by healthcare workers (HCWs). Methodology: We conducted a meta-analysis searching six databases for studies on …
