Educational needs for infection prevention and control during outbreaks: A qualitative study with health workers in Sri Lanka
A tailored approach to IPC education based on identified overall and key specific needs (such as training support staff) provides crucial information to improve HCW knowledge of IPC practices in Sri Lanka. In addition, IPC education must be extended to all HCWs to sustain best practices before, during, and after health emergencies.
