ABSTRACT
@#Though a relatively simple procedure, Hand Hygiene compliance rates tend to be highly variable and poor. This cross-sectional knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) study was conducted at Shri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) Hospital, a teaching hospital in Srinagar, India. The subjects that participated in this study included 106 nursing staff working in different departments of the Hospital. The Self-structured one plus WHO,s hand hygiene questionnaire for health care workers was used in this study. Almost 80% of the respondents skipped hand washing when in hurry. Only 12% and 28% used to hand wash before touching a patient and before doing simple procedures respectively. This study depicts the poor compliance of health workers regarding hand hygiene.
