Fig 2.
Comparison of HH compliance (a) between Phase 1 and Phase 2 among different moments and changes in HH compliance (b) for different moments.
M1: Before patient contact; M2: Before clean/aseptic procedure; M3: After body fluid exposure; M4: After patient contact; M5: After touching patient surroundings. a indicates a significant difference compared to M3 (P < 0.001). b indicates a significant difference compared to M3 (P < 0.05). c indicates a significant difference compared to M5 (P < 0.05).

MW: Medical wards; SW: Surgical wards; OP: Operating room; OC: Outpatient clinics; OU: Other units. a indicates a significant difference compared to ICU (P < 0.001). b indicates a significant difference compared to ICU (P < 0.05).
