title: Health care workers' compliance to the My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene: Comparison of 2 interventional methods.
abstract: This a prospective study comparing 2 interventions, incentive-based and audit-feedback, for measuring compliance to the World Health Organization's My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene among nursing staff in a Lebanese tertiary care center over 21 weeks. Compliance was not achieved by default. The incentive-driven intervention helped boost compliance, and the audit-feedback intervention helped achieve high sustainability. Analysis of health care workers' behavior toward hand hygiene based on the My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene concept is necessary to pinpoint difficulties in compliance.
