    General practices show hygiene issues, with frequent contamination on hands and surfaces, similar to hospitals. Sterilizer failures highlight the need for improved infection control measures.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Public Health
    • Infection Control

    Context:

    • General practices are crucial healthcare settings.
    • Assessing hygienic standards is vital for patient safety.
    • Previous studies have identified contamination risks in clinical environments.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the current hygienic-microbiological status in general practices.
    • To identify specific areas of poor hygiene and potential weaknesses.
    • To assess the effectiveness and correct usage of sterilizing equipment.

    Summary:

    • Hygienic behavior and disinfectant use were suboptimal.
    • Microbiological contamination levels were comparable to hospitals, with pathogenic staphylococci being most prevalent.
    • Hands, towels, cuffs, and floors showed significant contamination; stethoscopes and journals were less contaminated.

  • 15% of hot air sterilizers failed, and 24% were operated incorrectly.

    • Impact:

    • Findings indicate a need for enhanced hygiene protocols and training in general practices.
    • Recommendations are provided to improve practice hygiene and reduce infection transmission.
    • Addressing identified weak points can improve patient safety and healthcare outcomes.
