Snippet: Hand washing is the most effective method to prevent transmission of infectious disease. [13] [14] [15] Improvement of hand hygiene has been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of respiratory infection in hospitals, [16] nursing homes, [17] and common work environments. [18] In military environments, adopting simple hand washing programs that mandate hand washing at least 5 times daily significantly reduces the incidence of respiratory illness. .....
Document: Hand washing is the most effective method to prevent transmission of infectious disease. [13] [14] [15] Improvement of hand hygiene has been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of respiratory infection in hospitals, [16] nursing homes, [17] and common work environments. [18] In military environments, adopting simple hand washing programs that mandate hand washing at least 5 times daily significantly reduces the incidence of respiratory illness. [12] Despite the importance of hand washing for the prevention of ARIs, performing hand washing during field training might not be feasible under certain circumstances related to water shortage, that is, field training during a very cold winter season. However, a few data are available on whether adopting hand washing during field training can reduce ARIs among trainees participating in basic military training. Therefore, the authors hypothesized that implementation of hand washing during field training can reduce ARI incidence of military trainees. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of hand washing during field training on ARI outbreaks in an army training center.
