Identifying Barriers to Infection Prevention & Control Guideline Adherence in Western Uganda.
REFNo: HS5360ES
Primary Objectives
The primary objective of the proposed project is to demonstrate the effects of limited physical facility infrastructure, diminished supplies, and gaps in IPC knowledge amongst HCP and how they may relate to IPC practice implementation at the health facility level to inform efficient and effective future improvement efforts.
Specific Aims
AIM 1: Evaluate adherence to national IPC guidelines across a variety of healthcare facility levels in Western Uganda via a standardized observation protocol through facility-level evaluations.
1A. Guided by Uganda’s national IPC best practices for healthcare facilities and a standardized facility-level checklist adopted from the World Health Organization, we will perform observations of the facility’s physical characteristics, healthcare supplies, and healthcare personnel workflow, including observations of hand hygiene adherence with a standardized checklist.
AIM 2: Assess IPC knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare personnel at multiple levels of Uganda’s national healthcare system, identifying primary barriers to National IPC Guideline adherence.
2A. Healthcare Personnel Surveys: Surveys will consist of both qualitative and quantitative elements to ascertain information on their awareness of foundational IPC concepts within national guidelines, circumscribe a working understanding of the implementation of IPC measures across different healthcare facility settings before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and determine health facility-level attributes that may prevent rigorous adherence to IPC guidelines.
2B. Healthcare Personnel Focus Group Discussions: Focus group discussions will be oriented in such a manner as to ascertain common themes and information on awareness of foundational IPC concepts, gain a perspective on the experience of IPC practices across a variety of facility levels and HCP roles, and understand what limitations are experienced by HCP during their daily patient care-oriented activities. Through these discussions, we hope to gain a working understanding of the implementation of IPC measures across different healthcare facility settings before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and determine health facility-level attributes, gaps in IPC education and/or training, and HCP workflow concerns that may prevent rigorous adherence to IPC guidelines.
