Compliance of health care workers to adhere to correct hand hygiene is reported to
be poor in many countries although the techniques involved in hand hygiene are simple.
This study yielded interesting findings regarding knowledge and behavior among
a sample
of 30 nurses in Al-assad university hospital in Lattakia. Nurses received a self administered
paper questionnaire on knowledge and practices of hand hygiene at their workplace and
were observed during their work. Only (14 %) of participants had very good knowledge
about hand hygiene, with a significant difference in the level of knowledge according to
the level of education as respondents with university degree were more likely to correctly
identify the proper way of hand hygiene compared to those nurses who have a lower level
of education. On the other hand, the overall hand hygiene compliance among nurses is
30%. Some of the key parameters associated with noncompliance have been clearly
identified. Hand washing hygiene is a cheap and primary infection control procedure.
Therefore, the study suggests some improvement by continuous education during shifts,
seminars and posters, ensuring the availability of adequate hand washing utilities like soap,
water taps, drying tissues and reducing work load to improve nurse to patient ratio.
