Abstract

The importance and necessity of maintaining an optimal level of hygiene for nursing personnel make frequent and proper handwashing a hallmark to ensure the biosafety of healthcare staff and patients. It should be noted that despite its significance, less than half of the nursing personnel currently perform frequent and proper handwashing. This situation is attributed to workload overload, limited hygiene resources, and the lax schedule of training sessions addressing the importance and necessity of a proper handwashing protocol. The research methodology employed is qualitative quantitative in nature. The research concludes that the hygienic habit of frequent and proper handwashing among nursing personnel must be implemented as an essential requirement to guarantee the biosafety of healthcare staff and patients. Furthermore, it is evident that systematic training of nursing personnel in the development and reinforcement of hygienic habits, specifically handwashing, should occur with a minimum frequency of two sessions per month.
