Summary

Surgical hand scrubbing is the removal of transient flora and reduction of permanent flora as much as possible before any sterile gloves are worn before any surgical intervention. It is a cheap and easy method to prevent infections. Effective use of surgical hand scrubbing has an important role in preventing and reducing the transfer of health-related infections. Although many studies have been performed on surgical hand scrubbing, no standard practice has been found in the method of scrubbing and optimal duration of scrubbing time. The aim of this study is to compare evidence-based surgical hand scrubbing methods in order to prevent surgical site infections.

Methods H0: There is no difference between the effectiveness of different surgical hand scrubbing methods on the bacterial flora in the hand H1: There is a difference between the effectiveness of different surgical hand scrubbing methods on the bacterial flora in the hand.

Time H0: There is no difference between the effectiveness of different the duration of scrubbing time on the bacterial flora in the hand.

H1: There is a difference between the effectiveness of different the duration of scrubbing time on the bacterial flora in the hand.
