Sponsor's own description

Although little is known about compliance with the World Health Organization (WHO) 5 Moments of hand hygiene, the few existing studies report a high number of opportunities and compliance ranging from just 22 to 60%. Previous studies have reported an increased density of opportunities, perceived insufficient time and glove use as factors associated with non-compliance. A healthcare worker performing multiple tasks in one encounter may spend up to half the time in the room doing hand hygiene. Strategies to reduce the time required for hand hygiene may in turn promote increased compliance and may ultimately be most effective in limiting microbial transmission. In this study, the investigators examine whether cleansing gloves at each hand hygiene opportunity at the point of care and reusing the same gloves is as effective as standard practice and the current recommendation (remove gloves, perform hand hygiene, and don new gloves).
