Abstract
Hand hygiene is an important element of infection control. We conducted 2 surveys on hand hygiene practices and use of personal protective equipment among medical students during and after the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) to study its impact on their personal hygiene practice when they contacted patients.

None of the students wore masks during history taking and physical examination. In the 2004 survey, the corresponding proportions were 60.3% and 100%, respectively, and 86.1% and 93.8% of students wore masks during history taking and physical examination, respectively. Attitudes to handwashing and perception of infection risk were not significantly associated with handwashing practice, whereas peer behavior might be a significant influencing factor.</AbstractText><AbstractText Label="CONCLUSION" NlmCategory="CONCLUSIONS">A significant improvement in compliance with hand hygiene practice was found after the SARS outbreak.</AbstractText></Abstract><AuthorList CompleteYN="Y"><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Wong</LastName><ForeName>Tze-Wai</ForeName><Initials>TW</Initials><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>Department
