This is a sectional, quantitative study aiming to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices of the nursing team on Hand Sanitation (HS). 135 nursing professionals from a teaching hospital answered the Questionnaire on Knowledge, attitudes and practices related to hand sanitation. Data were submitted to univariate descriptive analysis. All participants in the research (100%) believe that HS is an important procedure in preventing infections and more than 50% consider work overload and the reduced number of gel alcohol dispensers as obstacles to HS in daily clinical practice. Partnerships being made with the Nursing Education Service (SEE) and the Hospital infection Control Commission of the institution are seen as facilitators, so that professionals improve their knowledge and clarify doubts about HS.
