Hospital-acquired Infections Clinical Trial
— IPC-HAIOfficial title:
Developing and Piloting an Infection Prevention and Control Intervention to Reduce Hospital-acquired Infections in Cambodia and Lao PDR
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).

Primary | Changes in hand hygiene compliance among health workers from baseline to endline | The investigators will calculate hand hygiene compliance by having the hand hygiene action of alcohol hand rub or hand washing using soap and water divided by the hand hygiene opportunity and multiple with 100. | At endline (6 months after the intervention started) | |
Secondary | Perceived feasibility and acceptability of the infection prevention and control intervention among HCWs and stakeholders | The investigators will conduct a post-intervention qualitative evaluation to assess the feasibility and acceptability and identify challenges in implementing the infection prevention and control intervention following the Medical Research Council's framework. | At endline (6 months after the intervention started) |
