Evaluation of the feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability of an environmental cleaning program improvement toolkit at a tertiary care hospital in Nigeria
The results showed that the toolkit materials were feasible within the local context and highlighted perceived effectiveness, benefits, and success of the toolkit process and experience contributing to a high level of acceptability. Challenges relating to time commitment and concern for sustainability have implications for the appropriateness of this toolkit, similar approaches to quality improvement, and the need for strengthening support for IPC improvements at the facility and national levels in resource-limited healthcare settings in LMICs.
