Abstract
This study was done to investigate characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and performance on hand washing by nursing students who are prone to have clinical practice. Data were collected from 418 students in 3 nursing colleges from September to October, 2011 using questionnaire. The mean frequency and duration of hand washing were 7.2 times a day and 19.1 sec. The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and performance on hand washing were 11.34(range 0~15), 3.42(range 1~5), 3.6(range 1~5), respectively. Above a half of students don't know about appropriate duration for hand washing and precautions after washing hands. Washing hands after rubbing nose, coughing, sneezing and handling the money and removing watch before hand washing were little performed. These results should be useful in development of education program for improving hand washing performance of nursing students.
