One of the most important units in providing health services in a hospital is the Emergency Room (IGD) which provides initial or follow-up treatment for sick or injured patients that could threaten the patient's survival. The density and increase in patients in the ER is serious and can cause negative effects such as increasing the risk of contracting infections, especially in emergency patients. Based on WHO data, it was found that 61% of health workers did not comply with hand hygiene.: This type of research is descriptive observational research. Sampling in this study used non-probability sampling with total sampling technique.
