Introduction

Hand Hygiene is very important among health care workers. This is important in preventing infections that occur during the handling of patients. These infections that occur during a patient’s stay in hospital are known as nosocomial infections. A lot of studies have been conducted to obtain information regarding the hand hygiene and its effects on patients in hospitals. The following are four quantitative studies which relate to hand hygiene in the hospital setting.
