Hand hygiene play crucial role in infectious control. The present research is on accessing Knowledge, attitude, and practice of nursing staff regarding hand washing. Human hands are covered with several commensal and pathogenic microorganism. Pathogenic bacterial species especially species are the most common to participate in nosocomial infections.
Total 300 hand swab samples were taken from 150 nursing staffs followed by filling the questionnaire form. Standard culture media (Blood agar and MacConkey agar) were used to isolate the microorganisms. Microbial identification was done by using standard biochemical tests.
Our study concluded that over all staff members had moderate knowledge and attitude regarding hand washing. Coagulase-negative isolates were the most dominant bacteria. Occurrence of was relatively less.
Creating awareness and education regarding hand hygiene would definitely increase the attitude and practice of health care workers to minimizing the nosocomial infection.
手部卫生在感染控制中起着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在了解护理人员对手部清洁的知识、态度和实践情况。人类手上覆盖着多种共生和致病微生物。致病性细菌种类尤其是[此处原文species前缺少关键信息]是医院感染中最常见的致病菌。
从150名护理人员中采集了300份手部拭子样本，随后填写问卷。使用标准培养基（血琼脂和麦康凯琼脂）分离微生物。通过标准生化试验进行微生物鉴定。
我们的研究得出结论，所有工作人员对手部清洁的知识和态度中等。凝固酶阴性菌是最主要的细菌。[此处原文缺失关键信息]的发生率相对较低。
开展手部卫生的宣传和教育肯定会提高医护人员的态度和实践，以尽量减少医院感染。
