What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of Infection Control Link Nurses (ICLNs) in enhancing compliance with standard precautions and hand hygiene among nursing staff in hospital settings. The study involves randomizing eight hospital units into intervention and control groups, where ICLNs will be implemented in the intervention group to promote best practices. Data will be collected at baseline and after 12 months to assess changes in compliance and infection rates. The primary focus is on improving healthcare professionals' adherence to hygiene protocols and reducing healthcare-associated infections.
