Assessment of device-associated infection prevention knowledge for practice development of healthcare workers

Device-associated infections continue to pose substantial burden on patients, families and healthcare organisations, contributing to increased healthcare costs, morbidity, and mortality. Effective prevention of these infections requires a multimodal approach that integrates evidence-informed strategies and knowledge optimisation. Knowledge measurements are key to assessing healthcare personnel’s understanding of these infections and related preventive strategies. We welcome proposals that focus on optimising knowledge measurement of such knowledge to facilitate identification of gaps that best enable tailored interventions to enhance care quality and patient outcomes.
