In complex medical care, a lot of work is done by hands, so the number of various bacteria on the hands of medical staff is often more than that of others, and the microbial pollution of hands is quite serious.

Nosocomial infections are mostly contact infections, and the hands of medical staff are important vectors of pathogens, and nosocomial infections caused by bacteria spread by medical staff's hands account for about 30%. Hand washing is an important means to solve the hand pollution of medical staff, prevent and control the spread of pathogenic bacteria and reduce the nosocomial infection rate.

Thus, there is no doubt about the relationship between hand hygiene of medical staff and hospital infection. Strengthening the standardized management of medical staff's hand hygiene is a major event related to the safety of doctors and patients and the quality of medical care, and is very important for preventing and controlling hospital infection.
