Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine how general practitioners handle infection control precautions. The study is based on interviews with 26 general practitioners. The following subjects were included: hand washing, skin disinfection of the patients before injections and minor surgery and disinfection and sterilisation procedures of the instruments. The investigation demonstrated that the precautions varied widely. A manual describing simple and safe infection control precautions in the outpatient setting has been written.
