The aim of this study was to determine factors influencing the hand hygiene compliance of a physician. We found a strong correlation between a leader’s (staff member’s or fellow’s) and a follower’s (resident’s) hand hygiene compliance. Followers’ appropriate hand hygiene compliance was significantly associated with the compliance of the leader (P = .01).
