Currently, one of the biggest problems related to patient safety around the world is cross infection. The main means of transmission of pathogens responsible for nosocomial infections are the hands. Hand hygiene is one of the most effective preventative measures to prevent infections, but only 50% of health professionals take this action. The objective of this work is to describe the benefits that the practice of hand hygiene provides for the client, nursing professional and institution. The research was carried out by a bibliographical review developed through scientific publications preferably in the period from 2012 to 2018, using the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences databases (LILACS), BDENF from the Library portal Virtual Health Library (VHL-BIREME) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) database. This review of literary review extended concepts about the importance of the practice of hand hygiene by health professionals.
