- Proper hand hygiene is the most important thing you can do to prevent the spread of germs and to protect yourself and others from illnesses. When not done carefully, germs on the fingertips, palms and thumbs, and between fingers, are often missed. This video demonstrates the World Health Organization (WHO) technique for hand-washing. Watch the video to be sure you are washing your hands thoroughly.

Everything is safe but the running water being wasted 😂😂
Exactly
I know! I was yelling at my screen. Must have been at least a gallon or two down the drain. And this is the "model"??
Yes, I'm worried about running water too! Could we do sth about that? 😱
@@tichervirtual - It depends on what type of tap you have.
If it is a handle, then I use my elbow to shut it off while I'm washing.
If it is a turnable knob, then you are really a bit out of luck. Unless you want to disinfect the tap and the surrounding area before every wash.
The best thing is having some sort of sensor, or button, that can be activated at will. That is the type of system used in hospitals and clinics. But, not all of us are able to install devices like that.
@@ShaiYammanee Thank you for your response. We have a turntable know so I thought we should proceed as you mention. Happy to know we're on the right path. Thanks again! 👍🏼
Noting my training as a surgical medic:
1. Remove all jewellery such as rings and bracelets. MOST IMPORTANT.
2. Close taps/faucets with elbows, not with hands / fingers.
3. Step 9: no need to use a towel, paper or other. These can still carry any type of infection. Just DRIP DRY with hands help upwards, higher than elbows.
Why I only wear jewelry sometimes
I wash the faucet tap instead of closing with elbow and then use a towel to close both the faucet tap and the doorknob, or I gently kick the door if noone is looking lmao
Every corp office is like yeah
When you rinse the soap off your hands how long does it take to get all of the soap off your hands?
@@trevorsheehan1757 It shouldn't take long.

Washing hands is time wastage
@@ank7652 Person X says: _"Washing hands is time wastage"_
Two weeks later, person X gets seriously ill and is off work for a couple of months.
She transmits her infection to two other persons who also get sick.
Person X subsequently revises her statement to say: _"Bad hand hygiene is time wastage"_
Lesson learnt.
Crazy, *tatiana,* ain't it, how we have made so much progress technologically etc., yet we're still primitives when it comes to basics like hand hygiene.
@@Muddy283 very true and unfortunate
Damn that running water is giving me a heart attack!!
Guauuuu is so funny i was thinking the same thing, 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I paid more attention to that than the hand washing
Staying safe😄
Aitihun M Sumer Agreed! We’ve been told all our lives to not leave the water running but now it’s ok?? They should tell people to just get your hands wet then turn off the water till you’re finished scrubbing.
@@ruthmaryrose Where I stay, we have acute water shortage. Luckily the rains bless us with enough water. If we leave the tap running that way, we won't even have enough water to drink!
REMOVE BRACELET AND INCLUDE WRIST WASHING AT END PLEASE.
Yes omg.
derrick ang shut up
@derrick ang Yes this bothered me, too. Both the bracelet plus you should wash at least a few inches up past your wristbone.
And this is from WHO my god , it’s the first thing I spotted, she may as well not of washed her hands at all haaa
THANK YOU. THE BRACELET IS PROBABLY CONTAMINATED YOU SHOULD EVEN WASH YOUR ARMS
First you must remove the ornaments which you wore in your hand.
For those who're complaining about the running water, in performing medical handwashing, and not the surgical one ha, it's also important to adjust the flow of the water once you turn on the faucet. You can't turn on and turn it off from time to time as the germs may pass on from the switch and onto your hands and all of your procedures may go to waste.
What I was trying to say is that in medical field, it's normal to leave the faucet open when you're doing this if you have this type of sink. In nursing school, we have the foot pedal type, and that's what we're using when doing handwashing whether its medical or the surgical one.
I m agree with you joyce
K0k
Pa
An automatic faucet would have been better
Came to the comment section just to see if someone else was complaining about the running water. I'm glad it's not only me 👍
0:
Same here
And me
woahhh. i just noticed it when i read your comment. that's sad and disappointing🙁
Actually I'm complaining that she didn't wash her hands properly. She should've washed up to the wrists and beyond the wrists a little bit plus rubbing back with soap at the back of her hands and under fingernails. In summary every inch of the hands should be washed properly taking a full minute. That's not proper hand washing to me
that is definitely the best way to clean your hands in my opinion👍
Thank you so much for sharing. God bless ❤️
Please do not be confused. This isn't the medical hand-washing used in healthcare environment but the hygienic hand-washing to be used at home, so it isn't as strict. Since this is hygienic hand-washing and not the medical/surgical one, having light accessories above the wrist may be overlooked. For those people who are concerned about the wasted water, let it be. Turning the tap on and off middle of hand-washing actually makes the whole thing useless. We are washing our hands, and turning the tap every now and then will just transfer bacteria right back to the same hands we're trying to clean. To minimize the water waste tho, make sure to adjust the water accordingly. When drying hands, please remember that WHO said 'single use towel', not a single single-use towel. Using a single towel to dry both hands isn't actually drying at all. Once the towel is wet, feel free to get a few more till your hands are completely dry. Make sure to use a dry towel in turning off the tap as well.
Kyou Hibari sure but a question that should be asked is in a developed country with enough healthcare, are the resources being used to dry your hands worth the germs being removed. Assuming that you are in a relatively safe area and not in the middle of a disease spread epidemic, I feel that just drying your hands on your clothes or a towel is sufficient, besides, your phone probably has more germs than your hands do when you don’t dry them properly. Just something to take into consideration
Totally agree.
I quick tip about drying. If you shake the excess water off your hands about 12 - 15 times before drying, you usually only need a single folded piece of paper towel. Folding it in half is important. It helps with the drying process.
Saves a lot in excess waste.
Kyou Hibari if I touch the tap after washing my hands I think I am taking the bacteria back with me again which I washed....,
@@andrewkim1667 In the age of covid, we don't have paper towels. Air dry is safest. 2. You kick the faucet off and on with your elbow, and use the last of your soapy wash to drip over the faucet handle.
@@willowscarclan point 2 cannot be done to faucet handle with circular shape..
god I hate those handle, whoever comes up with that design must be some lazy bunches who have never learnt the thing they're trying to make
Remember to turn the tap off with elbow. Save water
Anita Chaudhary who cares they’re paying for it
Or turn it off with your hands that have soap on them
you suppose to turn the water off with a new dry paper towel
What about the others
To avoid contamination, you should turn lff the water after washing your hands. Use paper towel when turning off the faucet.
This is a great video, but they forgot to clean your wrists. I do all the steps plus clean my wrists because they can get germy too. Also, you should use your elbow to tap off the water while washing. This prevents from wasting a lot of water, but in public I don't always do this because sometimes I forget. In my house, we have automatic faucets, so you can wave your hand by it while scrubbing to save water. Thanks for the video, Johns Hopkins! I appreciate it, but hope you can use my tips in your next washing hands tutorial!
Everything is safe but the running water,😂😂😂
sucks to suck
And also some bacteria and viruses are sticked to the tissue paper that was used at the end..
Water is a wast 😂😂👍
That’s because you have to wait to turn it off once you’re done scrubbing and drying your hands. Plus she should’ve waited a little longer for the water to warm up some. That’s what we are taught in RT school
The water
Thank you man...
This vid changed my life 😮😮
Thanks for your information 👍
Nice showing procedure very well understand 👍😊
Thank you to explain this trick wonderful
OMG TY FIR THE PROPER HAND WASHING THAT WAS MY PROJECT TYTY❤❤❤
friend *why were you in there so long. its been half an hour!*
me *oh yeah i was just washing my hands*
We’re out here watching hand washing videos before it’s cool
Hand hygiene is vital but with a controlled device water can be conversed. Thanks for sharing.
*con·serve
verb
past tense: conserved;
past participle: conserved
/kənˈsərv/
1. protect (something, especially an environmentally or culturally important place or thing) from harm or destruction.
"the funds raised will help conserve endangered meadowlands"
2. prevent the wasteful or harmful overuse of (a resource).
"industry should conserve more water"
this is very helpful
I was shocked by how many people do not wash their hands. I wash my hands for even longer than recommended 20 secs every time and I also scrub my face with my Luna silicone brush as I know it will remove all the bacteria from my skin.
I had a housemate who picked his nose an didn't wash his hands. He was constantly getting eye infections and his spreading and touching surfaces made me vulnerable to infection. I had to ask him to leave. He was impossible.
If you have a dangling bracelet that has touched your hands, and you don't wash it, it will still have germs on it as well. Be sure to wash bracelets along with hands.
AND WRISTS!!!!! She missed a very obvious area of her wrists. But, of course--this skill is correct. But, if we as medical professionals are going to be disseminating accurate information to the public, it needs to be correctly done so that the public can mimic it properly and protect themselves and the community. And the comment from Kyou Kibari is incorrect. This is exactly what we do. This is exactly what we do as nurses and this is exactly what we are taught---she just didn't do it correctly.
Very true
alternatively, you don't need to wear one
@@gispaAPRN theres no step for washing the wrist in 11 steps of handwashing by WHO
@@gispaAPRN This is the exact process to wash hand according to WHO. That's why he did not show to rub or wash the wrists. But wrist is an important area to get wash & needed for fulfill hand wash steps.
thank you so much 😊
this is an very educational and interesting video for students.
very help full video on handwashing
Thanks
This is best hand wash video 🙂🙂
I am unable to take my eye off the running water as the tap is left open all the time. That is not something we can do in South Africa where every drop of water is precious. Surely it is possible to go through the whole routine and only use running water at the end.
My sentiments exactly. Trying to find a health education video of hand washing where the tap is NOT running, its impossible.
@@lindydoubell6481 you are right
Good job man
very good technique
If she's a healthcare professional she shouldn't be wearing that bracelet during working hours!
Checking in from A&t Healthcare
Amazing video
Thank you
Beautiful hands
Gracias
Insightful.
Does it matter if you put soap on your hands first or water first before washing your hands?
Reading the comments regarding wasting of water: Agree, this method does use a fair bit of water, but one doesn't have to turn on the tap full blast. Watch people using public toilets and how they wash hands and this video is at least a move in the right direction. Teaching and reminding people to wash hands before handling food, before eating, after using the toilet, after handling animals (and this includes the family pet!), etc. is the best thing that comes out of the corona virus outbreak. We teach children how to wash hands, but many adults fail miserably. Handsanitizers are expensive and most people do not use as much as it is recommended.
Edit:
I also wish to add, that access to clean water is one of the major achievements in improving health and hygiene in developing countries. Water is indeed precious, but if one has access to running water, one ought to sensibly use it. We also have to respect certain authorities and when it comes to health, it is the WHO.
With this type of faucet, the water can easily be turned off and back on with an elbow.
@@marthaj5466 I agree. We had them installed in our house some time ago. Expensive tap ware that not everyone can afford. Washing hands in cold or warm water does not kill anything but will dislodge germs and make them less 'lethal'. Wonder whether this may be the reason the video is showing a running tap.

Yep this is what I remember when I was in medical school...
this is a safe way to prevent infections
Thank you mam
METHOD IS THE BEST!!!!!!!😎

You could turn that tap off and back on with your arm/elbow to save water.
Then your elbow gonna be dirty 🤷🏽♂️
AR yeah but you don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your elbow so you’re not going to infect yourself 😉
@@whoatemychocolate4222 true 👍🏽
I WILL SUBSCRIBE TY
Can you please make an eight part tutorial?
This reminds me of when I was 4 and learning how to do this in preschool lol.
Good days.
POV: You touch someone who faces the toilet paper inwards
i have now learn how to wash hands
Handwashing while singing happy birthday! ❤😊
Now imagine what would happen if 7 billion did it this way every day every time with water running like that...
What would happen?
The spread of infectious diseases would be reduced exponentially.
Dreaming Dreamer exactly, do they care about that or running water.
Very nice comment if the water will be running so the water will finish from are beautiful earth
@@dhirajt9288 Matter does not disappear. The water will be recycled & purified. It is wasteful in the sense that we are letting it run without using it this time around, but it is more important that you wash your hands thoroughly so you don't catch this disease. Personally, I think there are ways to do both. I would just turn the water on/off with a paper towel as I was washing my hands. But the point of this video was just to show us how to wash up properly.
rip water bill
Very helpfull bhai🙏🙏🙏 uuu video
Look, there's just so much water being wasted filming this video 😂😂😂😂
مشكور
Thanks for
C'est bien une vidéo des USA : on ne laisse pas couler l'eau pendant tout le temps où l'on se frotte les mains. Idem, lorsque nous nous brossons les dents. Merci d'avance de diffuser des vidéos vertueuses : l'eau, c'est la vie. Soyons économes avec les ressources de la terre, soyons écoresponsables.
Instructions unclear" water bill is extremely high
Very nice
Nice contaminated jewelry that should've been removed or washed and rubbed in the process. More : rinsing from the edge between unwashed and washed areas brings a risk of contamination from above the wrists. Proper drying not demonstrated here either. Rinsing water shoud not flow towards the fingers but from the fingers, and drying shjould be done from fingers (upside position) towards wrists. Then tap the paper around the rinsed wrists towards elbow , never using the paper to dry the wrists or hands again as seen on many many videos. again
Very well
The precious running water 😅
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
So you don't have to rub your hands the same way when you have them under water as when you apply the soap?
Wasting a lot of water in the whole process
What if there is only a air hand dryer? How do you turn off the water?
Use your elbow if it is day to day cleaning only (non medical). It is rare that you would be touching your own face with your elbow. Given the current situation, I would say, carrying clean paper towel with you is not a bad idea.
Mrs/mr I want this vidio to my tutorial wash the hands for my assegment in lecture
Thankyou for attention
Certainly a best way of washing hands.
What about the bracelet? Carries germ too!
Nice Idea☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
@john hopkins medicine is it possible to get a pdf doc of the steps I am an educator and would love to share it with my students
HI, we don't have this as a pdf, but you can find other resources for families and kids here: www.hopkinsmedicine.org/johns-hopkins-childrens-center/covid-19/index.html
amazing ....
LoL amazing world
@Amazing World ur name so u think everything is amazing
If a foot pedal is Available it can decrease amount of water used.
Otherwise, unless another individual is present to turn water on & off it needs to be left running.
One can decrease the strength of the flow water is not wasted if the patient is not made Ill or worsened via contact by practitioners
The next video should be “Water Conservation Steps Using Simple Techniques”
Instructions unclear, I built a sink.
lol my teacher watching this rn . i hope she sees this comment
You should have to close the tap when you where washing your hands other whise it was very easy to understand when I saw the video 😊
Do not microbes wick through wet paper and fabrics? A dry towel would be a superior barrier against organisms on the faucet when turning off the tap.
Those little fuckers will wick like greased lightning.
What about the NAILS? The part which goes out of the fingers - just the bottom part?
I think we should add one more step to this-- rotational rubbing the fist in the palm to clean the sides of hands.
thank you for showing me how to wash hands so that i could not get COV
"SEEMS" simple enough!
nice.
Wow 👌 👏 😍 👍 🥰 ☺️ 👌
Teacher made me watch this as an assignment and told me to write down a new technique I learned about washing my hands, how do I say any of these without sounding weird😐
Great
I will wash my hands everyday!!!!🤓
Yeah me too
Step 5: Backs of fingers to opposing palms with fingers interlocked
Step 6:Rotational rubbing of left thumb clasped in right palm
Step 7: Rotational rubbing backwards with clasped
So nice procedure but wasted a lot a clean water... Please close the tap during the procedure of applying soap...
Could use sensor tap,to save water.
Please one video using the elbow to close the tap
Rotational rubbing, backwarddls and forwards
with clasped fingers if right hand
In left palm and vice versa;
