Monitoring hand hygiene. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer. COVID-19 pandemic. Hand hygiene continues to be considered 1 of the most important methods of preventing transmission of healthcare-associated pathogens and reducing the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
Background: The hands of healthcare workers (HCWs) are known to be a primary source of transmission of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Thus, both practising hand hygiene (HH) and adhering to HH guidelines are expected to decrease the risk of transmission.
Hand hygiene (HH) in health care facilities is a key component to reduce pathogen transmission and nosocomial infections. However, most HH interventions (HHI) have not been sustainable.
