Reduction of nosocomial infections, recognition in time and adequate treatment are all emphasised activities of patient security. The aim of this examination is to measure theoretical and practical knowledge of hand hygiene of nursing students in secondary education. MethOds: Cross-sectional qualitative and quantitative was made, with non-random, accidental samples in 2014 January with the participation of students in secondary nursing education (N= 116) to whom the rules of sepsis, asepsis and antisepsis, and correct hand hygiene knowledge were taught according to the number of lessons in the curriculum. Self-made opened and closed questionnaires were applied, with a focus on the knowledge of hand hygiene. The technique and efficiency of hygienic hand disinfection was measured with an infrared lamp. χ 2test, t-test, ANOVA were performed as a statistical method besides 95% probability (p< 0.05). Data analysis was performed with SPSS 20.0 programs. Results: The concept of disinfection was known correctly by 78% of the students, the exact terminology of nosocomial infection was known by 44%. Only 42 students thought that hands have the highest relevance in the transfer if infections. The preconditions of proper hand hygiene were indicated correctly by 11%. Examination with infrared lamp showed that 4 students implemented hand disinfection perfectly. The most common missed areas were: the back of the hand, phalanges, nails, thumb. cOnclusiOns: Significant reduction of nosocomial infections may and must be reached, to which accurate theoretical and practical education of the students is required, and the acquirement has to be monitored continuously and strictly.

PHP95 THE DOS AND DON’TS IN PAYER COMMUNICATION. A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH ACROSS FIVE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES Guhl AK, Gbenedio T, Vekaria R, Shepelev J, Kolominsky-Rabas P GfK HealthCare, London, UK; Centre for Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and Public Health (IZPH), University of Erlangen-Nurnberg, Erlangen, Germany OBJECTIVES: National authorities across Europe implement both controls and incentives to infl uence the supply and demand of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Today, greater emphasis is placed on increasing effi ciency in the resources spent on health care via tighter controls on pricing and reimbursement regulations. Companies increasingly face the challenge to communicate their value propositions towards payers adequately. We investigated in 5 European countries (D,F,UK,NL,I) if companies meet payers expectations and also asked for suggestions how companies could improve. METHODS: A questionnaire was developed, validated and translated into the local language. Some questions were specifi c to the national health care system. In total 20 face—toface interviews were conducted with decision makers at various levels. All interviews were recorded. RESULTS: The expectations among payers across Europe with regard to industry communication vary widely. The emphasis lies in the presentation of scientifi c data with more focus on clinical rather than economic data. Some of the interviewees revealed some poor examples and mistakes made by companies, others gave us insights into what an “ideal” communication platform with the industry could look like on a national level. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that even in Europe there is a huge variety how to communicate with payers from an industry perspective. Cultural and health care system specifi cs need to be taken into account to develop successful payer communication strategies.
