Introduction : In the realm of healthcare, prevention of infection is paramount for ensuring patient safety and improving outcomes. One of the most fundamental that often overlooked practices in this effort is proper hand hygiene. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and an increasing number of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), the importance of hand washing has never been clearer. This article delves into the critical role of hand hygiene in hospital infections. Methods and Materials: To find articles related to the topic, search in Persian and English databases such as PUBMED, SCOPUS, SID and GOOGLE SCHOLAR using the keywords from 2018 to 2024 was conducted Results: The studies conducted on the effect of hand hygiene on reducing hospital infections yielded significant and positive results, reinforcing the critical role that proper hand washing plays in infection prevention within healthcare settings. 1. Reduction in Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) Across various healthcare facilities that implemented structured hand hygiene interventions. The findings revealed an average reduction of up to 40% in infections related to central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and surgical site infections (SSIs). These results indicate a direct correlation between improved hand hygiene practices and a decline in infection rates. 2. Improved Patient Outcomes :Enhanced hand hygiene practices were linked to better patient outcomes. Hospitals reported shorter average lengths of stay for patients with HAIs, as well as lower readmission rates. Additionally, patient satisfaction scores increased, likely due to the perceived emphasis on safety and quality of care resulting from rigorous infection control measures. 3. Economic Benefits: The implementation of proper hand hygiene not only contributed to improved clinical outcomes but also yielded considerable financial benefits. Hospitals experienced a reduction in costs associated with managing HAIs, including reduced expenditures on patient treatment and the avoidance of penalties related to infection rates. Conclusion: The evidence presented highlights the profound impact of effective hand hygiene practices on the prevention of hospital-acquired infections. The findings demonstrate that simple yet crucial hand washing can lead to significant reductions in infection rates, enhanced patient outcomes, and meaningful economic benefits for healthcare facilities
