摘要：
A multidisciplinary team visited all long-term care facilities (n = 123) for elderly persons in the Central Finland health care district (population, 265,000) during 2004-2005. Use of alcohol-based hand rubs and ongoing systematic antimicrobials were assessed. Thereafter, regional guidelines for prudent use of antimicrobials were published. One year after the visits, a significant increase in the mean amount of alcohol-based hand rubs used was detected while usage of antimicrobials for the prevention of urinary tract reinfections had decreased.
