Why is it important?
We developed a brief scale measuring hospital hygiene and sanitation that correlated well with an existing measure of healthcare quality. This effort shows that the new tool is a valid measure of patient-perceived hospital hygiene and sanitation.
Perspectives
This scale is quite novel especially in this time of the Covid Pandemic where hygiene and sanitation education are crucial in inhibiting the spread of the Virus. It is also very vital in helping to reduce the incidence of hospital acquired or nosocomial infections
