Hand scrubbing is an important part of the strategy of preventing infection after surgery. For insuring that our hands are disinfected properly after hand scrub procedure, we must do the hand scrub compliance with the standards. This study aimed to evaluate hand scrub of operating room staff and its compliance with hand scrub standards. This was a cross-sectional study. The source of data were 56 operating room staff working in Ali-ebn- Abitaleb hospital of Zahedan. Data was collected through a standard checklist extracted from Berry & Kohn's book. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and T-test by SPSS v.19. The mean age was 30.21±4.27 among respondents. Mean of the total hand scrubbing performance score of respondents was 13.96±2.98. There was a significant relationship between hand scrubbing performance and academic degree but there wasn’t any significant relationship between hand scrubbing performance and gender. Hand scrub performance of staff was not compliant with standards. The findings suggest managers and directors to perform effective proceedings for improving this performance. And also we suggest them to do a proper supervision on this performance.
