HAI,s Affect1.4 million patients at any time worldwide,as estimated by the world health organisation.In intensive care units burden is greatly increased and MDR pathogen are commonly involved in such infections.Proper hand hygiene is the single most important, simplest and simplest.
Healthcare workers are the most common vehicle for the transmission of HAI,s from patient to patient with healthcare environment
(Allegranxi 2009). Many studies have consistently shown that improved hand hygiene reduces no’s comical infection and cross contamination of MRI in hospitals.
Most of no’s comical infections are thought to be transmitted by hand so assess the knowledge and practice of hand washing among nursing students is important (Khaled etal 2006).
Transmission of microorganisms from hands of healthcare workers is main source of cross infections in hospital and can be prevented by hand washing.So to identify predictors of non-compliance with hand washing during routine patient care is important (Hangonnet 2002).
Healthcare associated infections persists as major problem in most intensive care units. Hand hygiene the most simple and effective method for the prevention of these (Cardiac surgical ICU SCTIMST).
Countries where people’s do not have a habit of washing their hands have automatically tend to have a much higher exposure to Coronavirus, a newly study reveals (University of Birmingham).
