This study was conducted to determine the impact of planned education on handwashing beliefs and practices of nursing students. The research was conducted in the form of a non-compatible observation research in the first test and final test order in a single group. The study was conducted by 30 students. The data, personal characteristics and handwashing information form, handwashing skills control list, handwashing before and after clinical procedures observation form, handhygiene belief scale and handhygiene applications inventory are collected. The permission from the ethical board and the department for the research to be carried out has been obtained by the student's oral approval. In the implementation of the research, first planned training on handwashing was done, in the training the methods of narrative question-response, discussion, demonstration and video display were used. The data was evaluated using percentage calculations, average values, Wilcoxon test and Spearman correlation ratio. It has been determined that students' hands-on skill scores in post-training and clinical practice have increased statistically significantly compared to pre-training (p<0,05). According to the students’ skills check lists, there is no statistically meaningful relationship between the final evaluation score average and the clinical practice score average and the Handhygiene Faith Scale (76,00±18,76) and the Handhygiene Application Reserve (64,26±5,33) score average. This study found that students developed post-training hands washing skills practices, but they did not wash hands before many applications during clinical application, mostly using hand antiseptics instead of hand washing. The use of different teaching methods is recommended in giving nursing students handwashing habits.
