Multipronged interventions to reduce surgical site infections: A multicenter implementation research protocol
We adopt a multi-center longitudinal mixed-methods study to be conducted over a period of 2 years in various phases. Phase 1 will be formative research with the objective of identifying knowledge gaps and baseline data collection. Phase II will involve co-development of multipronged interventions addressing identified barriers. Phase III will focus on the deployment of the selected multipronged interventions. Phase IV will be the post-intervention phase to evaluate the impact of the interventions. The study has been prospectively registered with CTRI and is supported by a funding grant from the Indian Council of Medical Research, New Delhi. The Institutional Ethics Committee approval has been obtained from all the sites involved in the study.
