Resumo
The theme is presented in the form of an integrative literature review, systematic reviews through data collection with a search in quantitative and qualitative research, through data collection in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Latin American Literature in Health Sciences Health (LILACS) and the Nursing Database (BDENF). Hand hygiene is a topic known worldwide and can be referred to as one of the pillars of infection prevention and control within health services. Even with great importance in healthcare, there is still little adherence among professionals to the practice of hand hygiene. It is necessary to raise awareness and continue education with health professionals to encourage improvements in health services, avoiding harm to the patient's health.
