When focussing solely on dispensers, usability, visibility, and accessibility are the key factors for hand hygiene compliance.

In this study, the influence of dispensers on hand hygiene compliance (HHC) was assessed. Dispenser usability, visibility, and accessibility are the key factors influencing HHC. Standarisation alone does not have a significant impact on compliance. Proper localisation of dispensers should be an important part of multimodal interventions to improve hand hygiene.
