[Hygiene resource practitioners' experience, at a time of health challenges]

Abstract

In the current context of the health crisis brought about by the Covid-19 epidemic, the implementation of good practices in terms of preventing contagion and the respect of good hygiene practices is vital. The hospital hygiene teams must be involved in raising awareness of these good practices. They rely notably on hygiene resource paramedical practitioners to share these practices with the nursing teams, notably in the area of the prevention of care-related infections and the spread of emerging highly drug-resistant bacteria. A focus group study conducted in 2019 in a military health facility in Brittany provides interesting insight into their practice.
