Objective: To explore the influencing factors of the knowledge of hand hygiene knowledge of medical staff. METHODS: A total of 219 medical staff from our hospital from January 2018 to December 2018 were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey. The questionnaires were collected 100% efficiently, and the hand hygiene awareness and influencing factors of medical staff were collected. Results: The study found that the nurses achieved a correct cognitive rate of 59.18%, and the physicians and medical technicians achieved a correct recognition rate of 16.13% and 7.14%, respectively. For the basic concept of hand hygiene, nurses' cognition is better than that of doctors and medical technicians, and the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05). There is a misunderstanding of hand hygiene awareness among medical staff, and there is not enough awareness of absorption. Ideally, after contact with the patient and after clinical operation, the cognitive cognition rate was significantly higher than before and before the operation (P<0.05). The key reasons for the influence of the opponent's health cognition are the busy clinical work, insufficient absorption facilities, long-distance absorption equipment, dry skin stimulation, and lack of incentive mechanism. Conclusion: The hospital needs to enhance the hand hygiene awareness of medical staff, increase the supervision of hand hygiene and incorporate the main content of continuous quality improvement of clinical nursing in hospitals.
