Hand hygiene training using cognitive behavioural therapy techniques
The intervention group will receive hand hygiene training using cognitive behavioural therapy techniques. Hand hygiene training using cognitive behavioural therapy techniques will be delivered by a specialist psychologist certified in cognitive behavioural therapy from among the researchers. The training consists of three 1-hour sessions. The information on hand hygiene included in the training has been obtained from data provided by the Turkish Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation. The aim of this training is to convince healthcare workers of the importance of hand hygiene in the prevention of hospital-acquired infections and to boost their confidence in their ability to adhere to hand hygiene guidelines. A strong commitment to hand hygiene will be possible through the development of self-regulatory behaviour. The objective is to foster self-regulatory behaviour through hand hygiene training integrated with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques.
