A mixed-method study to assess the knowledge-practice gap regarding hand hygiene among healthcare providers in a tertiary care hospital

Conclusions: In our study, we found that despite adequate knowledge, consultants and residents showed lower compliance with HH practices as compared to nurses. Increasing awareness regarding HH guidelines through frequent sensitization sessions decreased workload, and strict surveillance may help in bridging the knowledge-practice gap.
