1. In 2008, a study was conducted on 102 human hand samples by the University of Colorado, the
results of the study stated that the average human carries 4,700 bacteria from 150 different species that
can survive on the hands for up to 3 hours. Parts of the hands such as between the nails and fingers are
often a breeding ground for bacteria, although there are bacteria that are good for the human body,
some germs on human hands tend to pose serious risks to humans, causing infections and diseases. It is
important to know, shaking hands is also the most perfect medium for transmitting bacteria and
infectious diseases from one person to another. This refers to data from the CDC that it is estimated that
around 80% of germs that cause dangerous diseases are transmitted through contact through hands
(human touch to other humans).

The proper way to wash your hands is by using soap and clean water flowing from the faucet or using a
bucket or container to drain the water. Also pay attention to important principles related to CTPS as
follows:

Washing hands with water alone is not enough to kill germs that cause disease.

Washing hands with soap and clean running water is the most cost-effective way to protect us from
infectious diseases, including Covid-19.

Washing hands with soap for at least 40-60 seconds and following all the recommended steps is proven
to be effective in killing germs.

Washing hands with soap can be effective if there are CTPS facilities available, done at important times,
and done in the right way.

2. Personal hygiene is self-care that is carried out to maintain health both physically and psychologically
(Aziz Alimul H, 2006).

The principles of personal hygiene can include several things, namely:

1. Skin Generally, the skin is cleaned by bathing, so that the skin is not dry and rough and after bathing

up, deodorant, and shampoo, one should choose products that do not irritate the skin. The ways of skin
care are as follows: - Get in the habit of bathing at least twice a day or after activities - Use non-irritating
soap - Wash the whole body, especially the skin folds such as between the fingers, armpits, behind the
ears, etc. - Do not use soap for the face.

2. Some principles of personal hygiene care that must be considered by nurses (Potter & Perry, 2005),
include:

- Nurses use therapeutic communication skills.
