This research explored the factors that influence compliance with hand cleaning, differences in beliefs and attitudes towards hand hygiene amongst various groups of health care workers and patients/residents, and components that contribute to a successful infection control campaign. The goal was to direct future infection control initiatives

Based on the results, the researchers conclude that hand hygiene promotion should focus less on individual attitudes and beliefs and more on organizational and environmental factors, such as implementing clear policies and directives, and improving the accessibility of hand hygiene products and resources, in consultation with health care workers
