A quantitative cross-sectional survey using primary data collected via a WHO validated self-administered questionnaire has been distributed to students at the Solwezi College of Nursing. 167\/206 participants were recruited via stratified random sampling. Descriptive statistics highlighted potential relationships between demographic\/training factors and students hand hygiene knowledge which reduces HAI. Moreover, potential relationships were analysed using Fishers exact test and a multinomial logistic regression. The low compliance to effective hand hygiene has continued to fuel the high prevalence of Hospital Acquired Infections in Africa. The large number of nursing students has a potentially high impact at reducing the HAI public health problem in Zambia, however, there is insufficient information on the nursing student's demographic\/training factors affecting their hand hygiene knowledge which reduces the HAI risk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45565505405079,"sku":"9783346125651","price":3587.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783346125651.webp?v=1767931003","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reduction-of-hospital-acquired-infections-hand-hygiene-among-nursing-students-in-zambia-9783346125651","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
