Abstract :

Hand hygiene decontamination remains one of the most significant and effective approaches for minimizing healthcare-associated illnesses and patient cross-infection. Florence Nightingale recommended that nurses wash their hands regularly throughout the day in 1860, exhibiting an early recognition of the effectiveness of this simple routine. We scan electronic databases such as PubMed and Embase for all relevant papers published up to 2022 on our topics. Nosocomial infection control procedures should be improved further among healthcare personnel and inpatients in designated healthcare settings that house suspected cases of emerging or undiscovered infectious diseases.
