Research into Hand washing

This is a NHS campaign that i have found that i will look into, the idea of the campaign is to get people to wash their hands. This is not just for the general public this is for the staff at hospitals and other NHS clinics, this was launched in 2007, the whole point of this campaign was to monitor who had washed their hands whilst in a hospital, i think this shall be useful to my video as if i can see who washes their hands whist in a hospital then i can see who to aim this video at.

This is the results from the campaign, is shows that in the first Audit that they did less people washed their hands that of the second Audit, this shows that with this campaign more people washed their hands in the hospital.

This is the staff results on what staff washed their hands and it seemed that none of them were compliant sand only nurses were partly compliant, this made me think about my project and who i am going to aim it at. I was going to aim my video at children but i am now thinking that i should aim it at a wider variety of audience, i shall make my video colourful as it will attract more of a viewing rather than just making the video look dull and bo

I have found a previous campaign into hand washing that is mainly aimed at children or teenagers; this campaign is called give soap a chance.

This is a screenshot of the website as i can see it is aimed at children and teenagers, this is mainly what i am after but i am now also looking to make it more adult friendly as being more interesting to adults, from what i have found the NHS use bright colours and also very dark colours, this gives me an idea, i shall use eye catching colours in my video but then make it interesting to adults. Also this website is making me think on the way i shall word my video with a more child friendly approach.

This is the downloadable pack they have on their website that shows you facts and information on washing your hands, i think that this campaign is good as it is aimed at children it so it basically is written for children. I am looking at the text that is used and thinking that maybe i should use text like this but maybe put it in a font that is adult friendly or vice versa. I think that this shall be a good idea to make this available to everyone.

This is a campaign i have found that is aimed at adults and i think this is much more age appropriate to what i should be using for adults.

This is an adult campaign about washing your hands, this looks more professional with the colour codes that are used such as the red and green. Also the seriousness of the website is more than what the kids campaign was, as don’t put patients at risk is in big writing, you can see the seriousness of this website from a glance. I don’t think that my video can be as seriousness as it is aimed at all ages, but i think that it should be a little more serious that what i originally thought it would be.

Another thing i noticed about this was the pictures used were very clear pictures on a white background, this i find interesting and i shall use this in my video.

This is an Audit that they would use to see who has washed their hands and who hasn’t, this was made available on the website and i could easily get on and download. Up to know from all of the research tasks i have not found one video apart from on the kids campaign. This shows me how serious the NHS take hand washing and how i will need to make sure that my video highlights the seriousness of washing your hands.

This is also on the campaign website that gives you links to all other websites around the world and this shows me how important it is to wash hands.

From the research i have done i have found out that i will need to make my video serious but it should be child friendly, i should be aiming this video at all ages but of the age groups it will mostly be aimed at children as they need to learn from a young age the importance of washing their hands. This shall also be aimed at adults to remind them they need to wash their hands before entering a hospital.

In thinking about this i shall make sure there is not that many words on the screen, more like relevant key phrases that they shall understand and pick up the words. I think that this will be a successful video and it should make this a very successful project.
