Abstract
Studies have shown that no great emphasis has been put on hand washing
practices in psychiatric health facilities, despite the fact that nosocomial infection outbreaks
have been reported for decades. Most studies have focused on hand washing practices among
general health personnel; however, little is known about hand washing practices among
nurses working at psychiatric hospitals.
