Highlights
Health care-associated infections (HAIs) are infections that can occur while receiving health care in a hospital or other health care facility that first appear around hours or more after hospital admission, or within 30 days after having received health care (Haque, Sartelli, Mckimm, & Bakar, 2018).Health-care associated infections (HAIs) adversely affect patients because of the extended length of hospital stay
Based on the statistical analysis, there was no significant correlation between individual characteristics and the nurses' hand hygiene compliance (Table 2)
This study suggested that the use of Circuit Television (CCTV) as a reminder media significantly improved nurses' hand hygiene compliance with the five moments (p = 0.002), compliance with the six steps of hand hygiene (p = 0.002)
Summary
Health care-associated infections (HAIs) are infections that can occur while receiving health care in a hospital or other health care facility that first appear around hours or more after hospital admission, or within 30 days after having received health care (Haque, Sartelli, Mckimm, & Bakar, 2018). HAIs adversely affect patients because of the extended length of hospital stay. The cost incurred to be greater even cause death. The most effective and cost-effective way to prevent HAIs is through correct hand hygiene implementation. The hand hygiene compliance rate amongst health-care workers, especially nurses, is still very low (Ahmed et al, 2020; Anwar & Elareed, 2019). Studies conducted in some developed and developing countries showed a low level of hand hygiene compliance amongst health-care workers
