Background. Hand hygiene is recognized as the leading measure to prevent cross-transmission of microorganisms. Regarding hospital acquired infections, the compliance of nurses with hand washing guidelines seems to be vital in preventing the disease transmission among patients. There is a paucity of studies exploring this subject in Asia. Especially medical and nursing student's knowledge of standard hand hygiene precautions is rarely compared. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 98 medical and 46 nursing students in a tertiary medical college in India. Knowledge was assessed using WHO hand hygiene questionnaire. Attitude and practices were evaluated by using another self-structured questionnaire. Z test was used to compare the percentage of correct responses between medical and nursing students. A P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results. Only 9% of participants (13 out of 144) had good knowledge regarding hand hygiene. Nursing students knowledge (P = 0.023) , attitude (P = 0.023), and practices (P < 0.05) were significantly better than medical students.
背景。手部卫生被认为是预防微生物交叉传播的首要措施。关于医院获得性感染，护士对手部清洗指南的依从性对于预防患者之间的疾病传播似乎至关重要。在亚洲，探索这一主题的研究很少。特别是医学和护理专业学生对标准手部卫生预防措施的知识很少被比较。方法。在印度一所三级医学院对98名医学专业学生和46名护理专业学生进行了一项横断面研究。使用世界卫生组织手部卫生调查问卷评估知识。通过使用另一份自行编制的问卷评估态度和行为。采用Z检验比较医学专业学生和护理专业学生正确回答的百分比。P值小于0.05被认为具有统计学意义。结果。只有9%的参与者（144人中的13人）对手部卫生有良好的认知。护理专业学生的知识（P = 0.023）、态度（P = 0.023）和行为（P < 0.05）明显优于医学专业学生。
