Background:
Currently, there is no validated Turkish language instrument to assess the Hand Hygiene Questionnaire.
Aims:
This study determined the validity, structure and reliability of a Turkish translation of the Hand Hygiene Questionnaire scale in order to assess health care students' belief and practices regarding hand hygiene (HH) and inform strategies to improve HH compliance.
Methods:
The content validity index, confirmatory factor analysis and reliability statistics were employed. We recruited 595 nursing and physiotherapy students to participate in the study.
Results:
The content validity index ranged from 0.77 to 0.86. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.74 to 0.95. The fit measures of the model using confirmatory factor analysis were χ2 = 1276.18 (degrees of freedom (df) = 461); root mean squared error of approximation was 0.064. Normed fit index was 0.95 and comparative fit index was 0.97.
Conclusion:
This translation offers a reliable and valid means of assessing the beliefs and practices of Turkish health care students regarding hand hygiene.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Initiation of Translation
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...
