Standardized infection control programs are crucial for long-term care facilities. The PRECEDE model effectively aids in planning infection prevention and control strategies, such as improving handwashing compliance.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Infection Prevention and Control
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Long-term care facilities (LTCFs) face significant infection risks.
  • Effective infection control programs are essential for patient safety in LTCFs.
  • Standardization of infection control practices is lacking in many LTCFs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the applicability of the PRECEDE model for planning infection control programs in LTCFs.
  • To highlight the need for standardized infection control measures in LTCFs.

Main Methods:

  • Application of the PRECEDE model framework to assess infection control needs in LTCFs.
  • Analysis of potential uses of the PRECEDE model for program planning.

Main Results:

  • The PRECEDE model demonstrates broad applicability for infection prevention and control planning.
  • Identified potential applications include continuing education and improving compliance with universal precautions and handwashing.

Conclusions:

  • The implementation of standardized infection control programs in LTCFs is urgently required.
  • The PRECEDE model is a versatile tool for developing and enhancing infection control strategies in healthcare settings.
