Background Although hand hygiene is the most effective measure for preventing cross-infection, overall compliance is poor among health care workers.Objectives To identify and describe predictors and determinants of noncompliance with hand hygiene prescriptions in intensive care unit nurses by means of a questionnaire.Methods A questionnaire based on a behavioral theory model was filled out by 148 nurses working on a 40-bed intensive care unit in a university hospital. Subjects were asked to fill out the 56-item questionnaire twice within a 2- to 6-week period. During this period, no interventions to enforce hand hygiene occurred on the unit.Results Response rate for the test was 73% (108/148); response rate for the retest was 53% (57/108). The mean self-reported compliance rate was 84%. Factor analysis revealed 8 elementary factors potentially associated with compliance. Internal consistency of the scales was acceptable. Intraclass correlation was low (0.60) for 6 subscales. A low self-efficacy was independently associated with noncompliance (beta =.379; P =.001). After exclusion of this variable, a negative attitude toward time-related barriers was associated with noncompliance (beta = -.147; P
