Abstract

This study evaluated knowledge and self-reported attitudes and practices concerning hand hygiene among hospital workers in Shiraz, Iran, using a 68-question survey divided into 4 sections: demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Work experience had a correlation with practices and knowledge (P < .05), and knowledge and practices scores were positively correlated (P < .05). Participants appear to have sufficient knowledge and proper attitudes regarding hand hygiene; however, compliance practices were suboptimal.
