Continued direct observation and feedback of hand hygiene adherence can decrease incidence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection/colonization

Background: Compliance with the performance of correct and effective hand hygiene has not been adequate among undergraduate nursing students, in clinical settings. Aim: That is why this study evaluated if a hand washing workshop can effectively enhance the performance of hand washing among undergraduate nursing students. Method: A total of 15 participants were enrolled from a group of undergraduate nursing students; selected using simple random sampling. These participants primarily did a workshop on the 12-step of hand washing procedure based on the guidelines adapted from the World Health Organization. Their hand washing performance was evaluated before (pre-test) and after (posttest) the workshop using an observation checklist. Results: There was a significant effectiveness of work shop on hand washing techniques (p0.0046). Conclusion: Therefore, a hand washing workshop was an effective strategy in enhancing the skills of nursing students in effectively performing hand hygiene. A periodic re-education workshop or program regarding hand hygiene was recommended for health care personnel across all levels in order to maintain the quality of hand hygiene performance.
