The developer of the guideline is well qualified and knowledgeable about hand hygiene (42.2%). 61.8% of health care workers were agreed that the aim of these guidelines is to provide specific recommendations for improving clinical practices and reducing the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms to patients.
