Head Nurse Leadership: Facilitators and Barriers to Adherence to Infection Prevention and Control Programs-A Qualitative Study Protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effective management of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) relies on the implementation of good practice across the entire multidisciplinary team. The organizational context and the role of head nurses influence the team's performance and behavior. Understanding how decision-making processes influence healthcare professionals' behavior in the management of HAIs could help identify alternative interventions for reducing the risk of infection in healthcare organizations. This study aims to explore how the behaviors promoted and actions implemented by the head nurse can influence healthcare professionals' adherence to Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) programs.

Methods

A multi-center qualitative study will be conducted using a Grounded Theory approach.
