All the nurses and teams follow the five moments of hand hygiene in their working times (see appendix). Following “the five moments of hand hygiene” prevents patients from harm because hand hygiene is important in infection control (Salmon, Pittet, Sax & McLaws, 2015). The process of hand washing is a safe practice to support hand hygiene (Savolainen-Kopra, Haapakoski, Peltola, Ziegler, Korpela, Anttila, et al., 2012). Cleaning hands by rubbing with an alcohol-based formulation and washing hands with soap and water are two ways to keep hand hygiene in health care settings (Savolainen-Kapra, et al., 2012). A key component of infection control measures is ensuring adequate hand washing by health care workers using appropriate techniques and solvents

And also there is adequate liquid soap, hand moisturizer and alcohol-base rub set around every single basin. All nurses and teams adhere to hand hygiene practice and avoid the infection occurring. However, there can be some barriers that may influence adherence to hand hygiene, such as social influences, environmental context, and memory attention as well as decision processes (Moura, Fenley, Baraldi & Boszczowski, 2015). The Australian National Hand Hygiene Initiative (NHHI) was a national and sustained effort to improve hand hygiene compliance in every hospital in Australia (Page, Barnett, Campbell, Brain, Martin, Fulop & Graves, 2014). NHHI changes and improves hand hygiene compliance by: auditing hand hygiene compliance, education and training of healthcare workers, marketing and promotion activities to support NHHI, extra equipment and supplies, and attending meetings (Page, et al., 2014). According to Macbeth and Murphy (2012), the hand hygiene compliance rate was increased from 27% to 70% during 2007 to 2011 by auditing from Australian commissions. There is 77% hand hygiene compliance nationally from 2012, and over 690 hospitals regularly submit hand hygiene data, and 420,000 healthcare providers have completed online learning in hand hygiene since the start of the NHHI (Kasia, 2016). This shows we still have some health care workers not adhering to hand hygiene compliance (Macbeth & Murphy,
