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.
