Divided into three stages, the project sought to increase adherence to hygiene, essential to reduce hospital infections. It started with a situational diagnosis, revealing average adherence to hygiene. Changes were implemented, including active education and distribution of alcohol gel. After reevaluation, there was greater adherence and a reduction in infections. The continued importance of education and team collaboration to ensure patient safety is highlighted.
