Hand hygiene (HH) is essential for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Despite its recognized importance, compliance rates among healthcare personnel (HCP) remain troublingly low. This overview synthesizes findings from various studies to highlight the current state of hand hygiene practices among healthcare workers. General Compliance: Recent studies reveal a concerning state of hand hygiene (HH) compliance among healthcare workers (HCP). One study reported an overall compliance rate of 67.88% among 583 healthcare workers, with doctors showing 74.31% compliance and nurses at 70.42%. In contrast, another study indicated that only 31% of healthcare workers regularly practiced hand hygiene, highlighting a significant adherence. Knowledge and Training Deficiencies: Approximately 59.2% of healthcare professionals reported receiving formal training in hand hygiene within the last three years. Despite this training, many demonstrated only moderate knowledge levels regarding HH practices. This indicates a significant gap between training received and the actual knowledge applied in practice. Results of a study showed that after a structured training program, compliance rates increased significantly from 66.0% to 88.3%, and knowledge scores improved from 68.6% to 78.9%. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The COVID-19 pandemic initially led to significant improvements in hand hygiene adherence among healthcare workers (HCWs), driven by heightened awareness and fear of infection. Compliance rates peaked during the early months of the pandemic, with some hospitals reporting rates as high as 100% in specific units1. However, this surge in compliance was not sustained, and by mid-2020, adherence levels had declined sharply, averaging around 50% across hospitals nationwide. Conclusion The evidence indicates that while awareness of hand hygiene's importance is growing, compliance remains suboptimal among healthcare personnel due to various barriers such as inadequate training, environmental constraints, and increased workload. While the pandemic catalyzed an initial improvement in hand hygiene adherence, the subsequent decline highlights an urgent need for ongoing education, resource allocation, and supportive infrastructure. Addressing the barriers faced by healthcare workers is essential for sustaining these critical practices in combating healthcare-associated infections effectively.
