Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of intensive care personnel in Rwanda regarding high-consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs) like Ebola, revealing that many staff have limited experience and training in infection prevention and control (IPC).
- - A survey conducted with 107 participants highlighted that while 58% felt knowledgeable and 72.9% adhered to hand hygiene, a significant number failed to consistently follow IPC measures, particularly in high-risk situations like aerosol-generating procedures.
- - The findings suggest that although staff perceive a high risk of infection, their moderate knowledge and inconsistent IPC compliance indicate a need for ongoing education and training to ensure better protection against preventable infections.
