Hand Washing - Solution Education and Implementation of a Hand Washing Policy - A Literature Review

Introduction

This paper will attempt to present a literature review in order to address the issue of hand washing education and implementation of a hand washing policy. In order to do so adequately, the discussion will engage in an in-depth analysis of secondary sources pertaining to the subject area. These secondary sources (journal articles) will be closely analyzed for their conceptual model/theoretical framework, instruments or tools used, instrument validity and reliability, study sample size and data analysis method used. Furthermore, the discussion will attempt to present an elaboration derived from a brief summary on each article and an investigation into how each study supports the research study. An extensively detailed break down of the analysis of specific studies for the purpose of the development of the literature review has been appendiced.

It is based initially on the representations that students wash their hands and more generally "of clean and dirty." Training is provided to invalidate a period of three years alternately due to clinical teaching shared fifty percent with theoretical teaching. The first weeks of school are held at the Institute of Nursing Training and based on theoretical and practical work in a laboratory (Hiler & Turner, 2012).
