Knowledge and Practice of Handwashing Among Nurses and Midwives for the Prevention of Hospital Infections in Central Hospital, Esan North East, Uromi

This research project proposal evaluates the knowledge and practice of handwashing among nurses and midwives in Central Hospital, Uromi, as a critical strategy for preventing hospital-acquired infections. Proper hand hygiene remains the simplest yet most effective method to control infections in healthcare settings, yet compliance remains inconsistent.

The study examines nurses’ and midwives’ understanding of standard handwashing protocols, frequency of compliance, barriers to proper hand hygiene, and the relationship between knowledge and practice. It also explores the impact of training, supervision, and resource availability on infection prevention practices.

This proposal is ideal for Nursing, Midwifery, Public Health, and Infection Control students.
