Abstract
In a recent issue, Burdsall et al1 described inappropriate glove use among a sample of certified nursing assistants in a long-term care facility. Similarly, in our latest unpublished research in Iran, we evaluated nurses’ compliance with hand hygiene guidelines when caring for cancer patients. We found that glove use in clinical care was high and hand hygiene compliance rate was low.2 Despite the importance of hand hygiene in the prevention of health careassociated infections (HAIs), hand hygiene compliance rate among health care providers is low
