Abstract:
:The health care culture must change. Florence Nightingale wrote [8] "deep-rooted and universal is the conviction that to give a medicine is to be doing something, or rather everything and to give air, warmth, cleanliness etc. is to do nothing." Hygiene care practices and mobility activities are fundamental and independent care components in the nursing profession. When implemented using available evidence, they can significantly improve patient outcomes. It is time to claim and demonstrate the importance of consistent delivery of the fundamentals of basic nursing care. Interventional patient hygiene is an effective framework to ensure the the basics of nursing care are consistently applied to improve patient outcomes.
