Creative infection control
Abstract
In spite of the widespread use of educational programmes, there still remains a low staff knowledge and non-compliance of infection control policies. In order to overcome these problems we have attempted to increase interest and raise awareness of infection control by introducing a motivational programme termed Creative Infection Control. Some of the activities are illustrated and are loosely structured, and rely largely on humour and intergroup competition. These methods are based on sound psychological principles with an emphasis on adult-learning theory. Objective measures indicate that such programmes can significantly influence infection control outcomes.
