Infection Prevention and Control Intervention to Reduce Hospital-acquired Infections

Cambodia192 participantsStarted 2023-04-01

Plain-language summary

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are significant public health issues, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Hand hygiene and low-level disinfection of equipment (LLDE) practices among healthcare workers (HCWs) are essential to reduce HAIs. Various effective infection prevention and control (IPC) interventions to reduce HAI incidence have been developed. However, which interventions work effectively in LMICs has not been identified. The investigators aim to develop, pilot, and assess the feasibility and acceptability of an IPC intervention in Cambodia and the Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR).
