Several factors can contribute to inadequate infection control practices, including:
Lack of Education and Training: Healthcare staff may not receive adequate training in infection prevention protocols. Non-compliance with Guidelines: Staff may fail to adhere to established guidelines due to oversight or lack of understanding. Insufficient Resources: Limited access to necessary supplies such as personal protective equipment (PPE) can hinder effective infection control. Poor Hand Hygiene: Inadequate hand hygiene practices are a major contributor to the spread of infections. Overcrowded Facilities: High patient-to-nurse ratios can lead to lapses in infection control measures.
