Abstract

  Adherence of health care workers (HCWs) to recommended hand hygiene procedures for infection control has been unacceptably poor. Cultures from the palm of the hand were obtained to detect bacteria colonizing HCWs and reported individually with photographs of the culture medium to improve hand hygiene. Additionally a questionnaire was given to confirm the current state of hand hygiene among HCWs.
