Abstract
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), arising from inadequate hygiene practices, significantly increase morbidity and mortality rates in hospitalized patients. This descriptive study involved 350 healthcare workers from private hospitals in Wuhan, China. Participants responded to a questionnaire with close-ended questions, distributed physically and via email. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. The analysis indicated a gap in healthcare workers' knowledge of infection control, affecting hospital hygiene standards. About 60% of respondents hold a diploma or higher qualification. The findings underscore the importance of targeted training and educational initiatives in infection control procedures. A significant factor in hospitals' inadequate hygiene practices is the gap in staff training and knowledge.
