The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between accessibility to hand hygiene products, use of antibacterial gel and satisfaction among adults from the Human Settlement 16 de Octubre in the city of Chachapoyas (Peru). The study was quantitative, with a relational, prospective, cross-sectional and analytical design, whose sample was represented by 46 adults, chosen by non-probability purposive sampling. It was found that 54.3% of adults consider hand hygiene products to be expensive, 67.4% spend between 5 and 10 soles per week, 69.6 % have access to water in their homes; however, 60.9% have only non-potable water. Regarding hand washing, 54.3% do it in the spout and sink and the rest use a bucket or jug. Likewise, 45% never used antibacterial gel, 30.4% always and 23.9% sometimes. Regarding satisfaction with the use of antibacterial gel, 43.5% are not very satisfied, 29% are satisfied, 15.2% are very satisfied, and 2.2% are not at all satisfied. It is concluded that there is a highly significant relationship between the use of antibacterial gel and the satisfaction of older adults (p = 0.000).
