Abstract
Handwashing is simple, cost-effective and the single most important measure in the prevention of transmission of multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can spread via the contaminated hands of healthcare workers (HCWs) in intensive care units (ICUs). Despite this simplicity and efficacy, compliance with handwashing protocols is unsatisfactory among HCWs in ICUs. No single interventional measure is successful in improving handwashing compliance.
