Hand hygiene versus continued glove use in simulated nursing care: a crossover study on microbial kinetics and unintended transmission

Healthcare workers’ (HCWs) hands are primary vectors for pathogen transmission. While non-sterile examination gloves (NSG) are intended to protect against contamination, they are often perceived as a substitute for hand disinfection (HD). This crossover simulation study in studen...
