Summary Introduction

To determine:

Ask specific questions about the type of nursing assistance they would require if hospitalized and unable to meet their hygiene needs independently. Interview people of different ages and cultural backgrounds about their hygiene practices. To what extent are nurses obliged to respect the hygiene preferences of patients?  Are there special products or equipment they would need?

Concept Introduction:

Hygiene practice is all about how a person keeps himself clean and avoid contamination while drinking water, eating food and leading a healthy lifestyle. Good hygiene practice comes by washing the hands often after using the toilet and eating food. Cutting fingernails, keeping hair clean and taking bath every day etc. are good hygiene practice.
