Knowledge and Compliance Levels Regarding Hand Hygiene Practices among Nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Princess Margaret Hospital, Nassau, Bahamas
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess knowledge and compliance levels of hand hygiene among registered nurses at the Princess Margaret Hospital, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Nassau, Bahamas. METHOD: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in June 2019. A 32-item self-administered questionnaire was provided to 40 registered nurses to assess their knowledge and compliance levels to hand hygiene practices. RESULTS: All respondents were females. The results showed that 45% of the nurses had excellent knowledge, 27.5% had good knowledge on hand hygiene, while 27.5% had an average knowledge level. There was a statistically significant association between their knowledge level and their age, years of experience, length of time in the NICU and their level of education (p≤0.05). There was no statistically significant association between their compliance level and their socio-demographics (p≥0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Nurses’ knowledge levels were rated as good and so were their practice levels.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
