Efficacy of the Web-Based Gamified Infection Control Training System on Practices for Health Care Workers in Residential Care Homes: Clustered Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Staff working in residential care homes (RCHs) have played a significant role in preventing the spread of infection among residents, visitors, and staff. Providing continuous professional training to the staff is essential. Current infection control training mostly rests on short educational talks or one-to-one reminders in the RCHs. A blended mode of online interactive games and face-to-face consultations was now proposed as a new way to conduct infection control training in the RCHs.

Objective

This study aims to assess the efficacy of the Blended Gaming COVID-19 Training System (BGCTS) on infection control practices and self-reported knowledge, attitude, and practices of standard precautions among health care workers in RCHs.

Methods
