我们比较知识和自我报告的手卫生习惯与直接观察设拉子医院护士。总体手卫生依从性较低（39.6%）。对含酒精的洗手液的使用和评价都不理想。有些不情愿是出于宗教方面的考虑。大多数护士自我报告75%以上的时间执行了适当的手部卫生，而直接观察表明依从性水平要低得多。看来需要更多的培训和改进监测。(C)感染控制与流行病学专业人员协会，2017；Elsevier Inc.出版。版权所有。
We compared knowledge and self-reported hand hygiene practices with direct observations among Shiraz Nemazee Hospital nurses. Overall hand hygiene compliance was low (39.6%). Use and appreciation for alcohol-based handrubs were suboptimal. Some reluctance was due to religious concerns. Most nurses self-reported performing proper hand hygiene more than 75% of the time, whereas direct observation indicated much lower levels of compliance. It appears that additional training and improved monitoring are needed. (C) 2017 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. Published by Elsevier Inc.
