What is the current state of patient and family education on infection control? A descriptive study during COVID-19
This study reveals a high percentage of education on IC measures among patients and family members education in Hungary, in comparison to the existing literature. To sustain this high level of education, it is recommended that Hungarian health authorities incorporate IC patient and family education into the government regulations governing IC practices in hospitals. Additionally, hospitals should foster a more participatory environment for patients and family members in IC.
