Infection prevention and control in daycare centers—a survey of caregivers’ knowledge and practices in Ogbomoso Community, Southwest Nigeria
This study identified a significant association between caregivers' knowledge and their practice of infection prevention and control (IPC), as well as between years of experience and IPC practice. We recommend implementing regular, targeted IPC training that specifically addresses the identified gaps in practice, particularly in hand hygiene and waste management, to further improve infection control standards in daycare centers.
