在醫院感染控制（Infection Control）中，核心目標是阻斷病原體傳播鏈。手部衛生（Hand Hygiene）是預防醫療照護相關感染（HAI）最有效且被證實最具成本效益的方法。護理長評估感染控制率時，應關注具備高度臨床相關性與可改變性的過程指標（Process Indicator）。手部衛生的配合度直接反應了臨床人員在接觸病人前後的防護行為，是預防交叉感染最關鍵的環節。
Hand hygiene compliance is the most critical process indicator for infection control because handwashing is the most effective and cost-efficient method to prevent healthcare-associated infections. While factors like cleaning frequency or visitor counts are relevant, staff adherence to hand hygiene directly impacts the transmission chain of pathogens and cross-contamination risks.
