Overview

Infection control procedures are the practices and protocols used to prevent the transmission of infectious agents in healthcare settings and the wider community. They include measures such as hand hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment, cleaning and disinfection of environments and equipment, safe handling of waste, isolation of infectious patients, and surveillance of infections. By interrupting the chain of transmission, these procedures protect patients, healthcare workers, and the public, and they are essential to safe clinical care and outbreak prevention. Research relevant to infection control examines how these practices are understood and applied, particularly among healthcare workers, and how they perform in real settings. Work published through OpenAccessPub includes a study of the knowledge and perception of hand hygiene among healthcare workers in clinical settings, directly addressing a core infection-control practice and the factors that influence adherence to it. Related research explores infection prevention and control during outbreaks and in surgical and hospital environments. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research in the International Journal of Infection Prevention relevant to infection control procedures, supporting an evidence-based understanding of how infection transmission is prevented in healthcare and beyond.
