Purpose: This study aimed to implement a hand hygiene intervention for inpatients and evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: The intervention consisted of three components: First, hand sanitizers were placed on personal drawers and intravenous poles, and hand sanitizing tissues were provided. Second, posters were placed on bedside tables, drawers, and hand sanitizer containers, highlighting the importance of hand hygiene and key moments from the patient’s perspective. Third, a brief face-to-face guidance was provided, as well as hands-on training using leaflets for hand hygiene. Results: The observed hand hygiene compliance rate was significantly higher in the experimental group (36.9±26.1%) than in the control group (15.6±14.0%) (Z=-4.45, p<.001). The self-reported compliance rate was also significantly higher in the experimental group (36.4±24.5%) the control group (33.5±23.5%) (Z=-2.29, p=.022). In the experimental group, hand sanitizer use significantly increased from 24.2% to 62.6% (p<.001). The most preferred placement for hand hygiene products was the mobile intravenous pole. Conclusion: The intervention was effective in improving effectively improved hand hygiene compliance among hospitalized patients and can serve as a practical infection prevention strategy.
