Enrolled staff
A total of 135 physicians and nurses from the medical
and surgical wings were included in this study. We
used a convenience sample, including all subjects on duty at the time of sampling. Less than 5% of the staff
refused to take part in this study. Each participant completed
a questionnaire with items evaluating how long
the participant had been wearing his or her current attire,
how frequently he or she changes attire, and how
he or she would rate the attire’s level of hygiene.
