- The study investigates how psychosocial factors influence healthcare workers' adherence to surgical site infection (SSI) prevention practices by examining valid and reliable questionnaire scales across physicians and nurses.
- Data was collected from 90 physicians and 193 nurses in non-university hospitals in Germany, utilizing a written questionnaire that assesses their compliance and the determinants of that compliance based on the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behavior Model.
