Resumo
This study was undertaken with students during their last year/semester
of health sector studies at Higher Education Institutions (HEI), in Goiás State/2005. It
aimed to verify the understanding of these students about hands washing (HW), identify
the contribution of the HEI to the students’ education on this theme, identify factors that
favor the practice of HW, and verify the availability of material resources for HW at Health
Assistance Establishments (HAE) used as practice scenarios. After observing ethical aspects,
the data was obtained through a previously-evaluated questionnaire, and processed using
Epi Info software (CDC, 2004), when the chi-square test was applied. 777 students took
part (68.0%) in the study, belonging to the following courses: Biomedicine, Nursing,
Pharmacy, physiotherapy, phonoaudiology, Medicine, Dentistry and Occupational
Therapy. There was a noticeable difference between the understanding on HW and actual
practice. Although we evidenced that HEIs have approached this subject during the
educational process, this was not enough to modify the practice.
