Hand Hygiene Before Non-sterile Glove Use

"In the No Intervention arm, healthcare workers will be assigned to first perform hand hygiene before donning non-sterile gloves prior to patient contact (usual practice). Samples will be obtained from hands prior to donning gloves and from the gloves after donning to determine total aerobic colony counts and to identify important hospital pathogens~In the Experimental arm, they will be instructed to don gloves without washing their hands as described."
