Abstract

Background and Aim: Although hand-washing is one of the most important factors in prevention of nosocomial infections, research findings show that hand-washing compliance has not been satisfactory in health care personnel. The concept of compliance refers to effective hand hygiene in any related opportunity.Research findings in other countries indicate that hand-rubbing with ALCOHOL-BASED SOLUTION has increased the hand hygiene compliance. This study was carried out in order to compare compliance of hand hygiene with ALCOHOL-BASED SOLUTION and plain SOAP regarding nurses' beliefs and cultural differences.Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 97 nursing personnel of hospitals in Gonabad city. The participants were randomly assigned into two groups. Also, the two groups were matched regarding affecting factors. The hand hygiene behavior was observed for 15 days. The data were collected and analyzed by SPSS. The p-value was set at less than 0.05 level of significance.Results: Results showed that hand hygiene compliance in case and control groups were %62 and %59, respectively. Although compliance with ALCOHOL-BASED SOLUTION was better in comparison to SOAP, independent t-test didn’t show significant differences between two groups (p=0.625).Conclusion: Although alcohol-based hand rub is reasonable, time-saving, and easily used with little skin complication, the reasons for its low compliance are religious beliefs and feelings that hands would not be clean, if not rinsed. Teaching the importance of hand-hygiene, advantages of using alcoholic solution and encouraging personnel who follow hand-hygiene can improve HAND-HYGIENE COMPLIANCE.
