INTRODUCTION
Background of Research
Hand hygiene is way of cleaning the one hand which minimizes the harmful
microorganisms on hands. This is regarded as main measure for minimizing transmitting
infection risk between health care personnel and patients. Hand hygiene is simple and effective
way of preventing infections. Cleaning up hands will avoid spread of germs, even antibiotic
resistant and difficult to treat, if not difficult. Healthcare professionals disinfect their hands less
than half the time on average. Hygiene of hands is also considered one of key components of
infection control (Kingston, O'Connell and Dunne, 2016). With the burden of HCAIs, the
seriousness of disease and the difficulty of care, superposed by pathogenic multi-drug (MDR)
infections, the health professionals are returning with simple steps such as hand hygiene to basics
of the infection prevention.
Rationale of Research
Present investigation is related to the ways for promoting the hand hygiene within the
health care setting. Hand hygiene is necessary within health care in order to remove the germs.
The rationale of research to conduct this investigation is to examine the benefits of hand hygiene
and the ways to promote hand hygienic and also create awareness among people (Sansam and et.
al., 2016).
Research Aim
The aim of this research is “To identify the ways for promoting hand hygienic within
health care setting.”
Research Objectives
 To examine the importance of hand hygiene for health care setting.
 To identify the factors impacting hand hygiene compliance.
 To determine the ways for promoting the hand hygiene within health care setting.
