Answer

Hi Amy,

Thank you for contacting the Argosy University Library.

To conduct a search on your topic, navigate to the Online Library homepage and enter your keywords into the Library Search bar near the bottom of the page. Select the option for Just Journal Articles.

Here are a few suggested keywords for your searches.

  • hand washing AND nosocomial infection
  • hand washing and hospital acquired infection
  • nosocomial infection prevention

'Hand washing' is used interchangeably with 'handwashing' and 'hand-washing' so you may also want to consider these terms.

Select the Peer-reviewed option on the left to narrow your results.

Scan your results for articles that may be of interest to you.  Click the Details link for further information.  Click the title of the article to view the full text.


PICOT is a framework for developing clinical foreground questions.  Researchers may not specify their methods for developing their research questions, so including this in your keyword searching may not yield any valuable results.

Please let us know if we can assist further.

Sincerely,

Amanda Henderson
Argosy University Library
