Brief Summary:
Unconscious touching of a persons own head or neck for example by scratching is a frequently observed and completely normal physiological movement pattern in humans which when done by medical personnel attending a patient poses a high risk of unconscious self-contamination even of an already disinfected hand and of subsequent contamination of the patient However as compared to an ungloved hand a gloved hand is felt to be foreign which could reduce the frequency of self-contact and thus the contamination rate
Wearing protective gloves is highly recommended in medical practice The purpose of this study is to explore how wearing or not wearing protective gloves affects
the frequency of unconscious self-contact
contamination of the glovedungloved hand
