Infection Prevention and Control Intervention to Reduce Hospital-acquired Infections
Sponsor: National University of Singapore
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).

Infection prevention and control (IPC)
The intervention will be developed by matching behavioral change components identified in the gap analysis stage with the intervention components extracted from a systematic review. The investigators will use the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) model as a guide to design this infection control prevention and control intervention. In brief, the intervention development processes will follow eight steps based on the BCW. The steps will include defining the problem in behavioral terms, selecting the target behaviors, specifying the target behaviors, identifying what needs to change, identifying intervention functions, identifying policy categories, identifying behavior change techniques, and identifying the mode of delivery.
