“…The steps asked were as follows: folding sleeves (while it was also possible to declare as not applicable), removing watches and bracelets (while it was also possible to declare as not applicable), removing rings before or during handwashing (while it was also possible to declare as not applicable), using soap, using warm water, soaking hands before using soap (while it was also possible to declare as not applicable if they do not use soap), spreading soap lather throughout the hands (while it was also possible to declare as not applicable if they do not use soap), turning the faucet off with hand, and drying hands with a towel. The question and the steps included are commonly used in a number of studies dealing with handwashing procedure [ 58 , 62 , 63 , 64 ]. For the majority of steps, including them in the applied procedure was interpreted as needed according to the handwashing guidelines [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 52 ], but for the step described as “turning the faucet off with hand”, including it was interpreted as incorrect due to the fact the faucet should not be touched barehanded after handwashing.…”

“…Sendo assim, a prática da higienização das mãos reduz significantemente a transmissão de micro-organismos e, consequentemente, a incidência das infecções preveníeis, reduzindo a morbimortalidade em serviços em saúde. Entretanto, a literatura aponta que a falta de adesão ao procedimento de higienização das mãos ainda é uma lacuna a ser sanada (9,10) . Diante dessa realidade, a presente pesquisa se propôs à elaboração de uma tecnológica educativa para o controle de infecção em serviços em saúde.…”

“…Estudos recentes reforçam a necessidade eminente de padronização das informações fornecidas no que se refere a execução da HM, uma vez que, embora as recomendações oficiais de órgãos como ANVISA e CDC, apresentem conteúdos padronizados importantíssimos, os mesmos são disponibilizados a população com linguagem voltada aos profissionais de saúde, e estudos que levam em consideração o nível de compreensão dessas orientações por parte de acompanhantes cuidadores são escassos (FERNANDES et al, 2019;AIRES et al, 2020;HECKEL et al, 2017).…”

“…Tendo em vista que uma quantidade considerável de microrganismos é disseminada por meio das mãos, é importante que a medida de conformidade seja conhecida por todas as pessoas que circulam pelo ambiente hospitalar, bem como é fundamental que todas as pessoas envolvidas no cuidado do paciente realizem o procedimento corretamente (TRANNIN et al, 2016), pois é ratificado que para obtenção do sucesso na HM é necessária a integração de dois pontos principais: a identificação dos momentos em que deve ser realizada e a utilização correta da técnica, que é considerada exitosa quando se contempla todas as partes das mãos (TRANNIN et al, 2016;FERNANDES et al, 2019).…”
