    Healthcare workers' adherence to infection prevention and control guidelines for respiratory infectious diseases : a rapid qualitative evidence synthesis
    (Health & Medical Publishing Group, 2020-07-02) Schmidt, B.-M.; Cooper, Sara; Wiyeh, Alison B.; Wiysonge, Charles S.
    COVID-19 spreads easily between people who are in close contact, or through coughs and sneezes. As the number of cases continues to increase, healthcare workers (HCWs) are notably at risk as a result of frequency of contact with suspected cases or infected people. Use of infection prevention and control (IPC) strategies by HCWs is therefore important. We summarise the evidence from a rapid Cochrane qualitative evidence synthesis by Houghton et al. on barriers and facilitators to HCWs’ adherence to IPC guidelines for respiratory infectious diseases.
