Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Mindful Hand Hygiene InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in the Mindful Hand Hygiene Intervention will complete the same surveys as participants in the Control Arm at baseline, post-intervention, and 6-months post-intervention. Data will also be collected on baseline hand-hygiene rates during the habituation period, intervention period, and 3-12 months post-intervention. In addition, intervention participants will be asked to complete 3 mindfulness online educational modules and attend group-facilitated discussions on mindfulness. They will be offered the option of using a mobile application program "Mindfulness Coach" to enhance their mindfulness practices. A key message of the intervention is using hand hygiene as a prompt to practice mindfulness.
Group II: Control ArmActive Control1 Intervention
Participants that are assigned to the control arm will be observed for hand hygiene adherence and duration during the habituation period, intervention period, and 3-12 months post-intervention. They will also be asked to complete study surveys at baseline, post-intervention and 6-months post intervention. They will not receive any of the intervention components.
