Journal Article
Dyson, J., Lawton, R., Jackson, C., & Cheater, F. (2011). Does the use of a theoretical approach tell us more about hand hygiene behaviour? The barriers and levers to hand hygiene. Journal of Infection Prevention, 12(1), 17-24. https://doi.org/10.1177/1757177410384300

Background: Despite many strategies employed to improve hand hygiene, compliance remains low at around 50%. Two reasons have been identified for this. First, implementation strategies are rarely tailored according to assessed barriers and levers to b...
