Summary

This single-group quasi-experimental study will evaluate the effectiveness and durability of a fluorescent hand hygiene training program for first-year nursing students at a Polish university. Students will complete the WHO Hand Hygiene Knowledge Questionnaire and undergo Glo Germ-based fluorescent assessment of handwashing technique at baseline, immediately after the training, approximately two weeks later, at the end of the first semester, and just before their first clinical placements. The primary objective is to determine whether the training improves and sustains hand hygiene technique quality over time, while secondary objectives include changes in hand hygiene knowledge and the relationship between knowledge and technique

BEHAVIORAL

Fluorescent Hand Hygiene Training with Glo Germ

First-year nursing students receive a standardized fluorescent hand hygiene training session using Glo Germ lotion and UV light. The session includes a brief review of WHO hand hygiene indications, demonstration of proper handwashing technique, application of fluorescent lotion, handwashing by the student, and visual feedback of missed areas under UV illumination. Students repeat handwashing until adequate coverage is achieved. This training is delivered early in the first semester and its effects are assessed at immediate, short-term, semester-end, and pre-clinical time points
