Measuring compliance with the appropriate chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing process through direct observation audits can be helpful in sustaining this important practice; however, capturing this data may be difficult. This study reports the differences between observed and self-reported CHG bathing process compliance audits. The difference between mean observed and self-reported compliance was not significant (p = .06), indicating that self-reported compliance may be an accurate, easy to obtain proxy measure for CHG bathing process compliance.
