An Overview Of Infection Control Measures Awareness Among Nurses, Family Medicine, General Practitioners, Optometrist, Clinical Laboratory, Pharmacist, Paramedic, And Dental Teams

Abstract

There is a lack of information regarding adherence to infection control measures in dental facilities in the Middle East. The objective of this study was to examine the existing literature on the knowledge and practices related to infection control among various healthcare providers, such as nurses, family medicine practitioners, general practitioners, optometrists, clinical laboratory professionals, pharmacists, paramedics, and dentistry teams. Proficiency in infection prevention and control (IPC) protocols among healthcare workers (HCWs) is essential for the successful implementation of IPC measures. Adhering to IPC guidelines has crucial ramifications for the safety of healthcare workers, the protection of patients, and the overall care environment. It is highly recommended to adopt a comprehensive approach to enhance IPC-intervention tactics. It is vital to enhance compliance among healthcare workers (HCWs) with infection prevention and control (IPC) methods.
