Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
While the importance of hand disinfection in the staff has been undisputed, there is no data on the rate of hand disinfection for visitors of perinatal care centers. Visitor at these stations are common non-compliant persons (especially children!). On the other hand, pregnant women and young mothers and newborn babies are "exposed" to a large number of visitors compared to other stations.
The investigators examine whether special measures (such as voice prompts) have a positive effect on the rate of performed hand disinfections or consecutively on the infection rate.
