abstract = {Background: Patient safety is a priority of any healthcare system, and one of the most
effective measures is hand hygiene. For this, it is important that health staff have correct adherence and
perform the technique properly. Otherwise, the incidence of nosocomial infections can increase, with
consequent complications. The aim here was to analyze hand hygiene training and the effectiveness
of different methods and educational strategies among nurses and whether they maintained correct
adherence over time. Results: n = 17
clinical trials were included, with a total of 5747 nurses and nursing students. Strategies such as
reminder sounds, practical simulations, videos, and audiovisual media improved handwashing
compliance. Adherence overtime increased by up to 60%. The greatest effectiveness was related to the
use of povidone–iodine, which reduced colony formation compared Hand hygiene teaching strategies
among nursing staff: a systematic review to soap. Conclusions: The strategies that go beyond teaching
techniques such as lectures may be more effective at increasing hand hygiene compliance. Combined
approaches to learning/instruction improve user satisfaction by enabling self-management, flexibility,
and repetition.},
