    Hand hygiene as a caring practice: a reflection on professional responsibility
    (Assoc Brasileira Enfermagem, 2017) Belela-Anacleto, Aline Santa Cruz [UNIFESP]; Peterlini, Maria Angélica Sorgini [UNIFESP]; Pedreira, Mavilde da Luz Gonçalves [UNIFESP]
    Hand hygiene represents a fundamental nursing care practice and is traditionally considered the most important and effective measure in the prevention and control of healthcare-related infections. However, studies indicate that adherence to the procedure is unsatisfactory throughout the world, and show low adherence rates. In a context in which patient safety stands out as a priority, this text submits reflections about professional responsibility when not adhering to hand hygiene practices, and ethical aspects related to this conduct.
