| dc.description.abstract | Hand hygiene is essential in healthcare to prevent infections, yet compliance among nursing students remains a challenge. This cross-sectional study assessed knowledge, attitude, and practice towards Five Moments for Hand Hygiene among undergraduate nursing students at Universiti Sains Malaysia. A total of 141 participants were recruited via convenience sampling, and data were collected using a self-administered validated questionnaire. Results showed that 95.7% of students had good hand hygiene practice, while most had moderate knowledge (72.3%) and attitude (58.9%). Weak, non-significant positive correlations were found between knowledge, attitude, and practice (knowledge-attitude: r = 0.137, p = 0.105; knowledge-practice: r = 0.129, p = 0.127; attitude-practice: r = 0.134, p = 0.111). Furthermore, no significant differences in practice were observed based on gender (χ² = 1.681, p = 0.219), education level (χ² = 0.187, p = 1.000), and year of study (χ² = 2.741, p = 0.506). These findings emphasize the need for ongoing education, regular hand hygiene campaigns, accessible placement of hand rubs and sinks, continuous supervision and practical training to maintain and enhance hand hygiene compliance. | |
