Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of nurse-led education programmes on childcare workers (CCWs) in improving infection prevention and control (IPC) practices in daycare centres. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is there an increase in IPC knowledge, attitudes, practices, and self-efficacy, as well as hand hygiene intention and compliance of CCWs after receiving the online or onsite IPC nurse-led education programme?
2. Do CCWs who receive the online programme exhibit higher IPC knowledge, attitudes, practices, and self-efficacy, as well as hand hygiene intention and compliance compared to those who do not receive any programme?
3. Do CCWs who receive the onsite programme exhibit higher IPC knowledge, attitudes, practices, and self-efficacy, as well as hand hygiene intention and compliance compared to those who do not receive any programme?
4. Is there a difference in IPC knowledge, attitudes, practices, and self-efficacy, as well as hand hygiene intention and compliance between CCWs who receive the online programme and those who receive the onsite programme?

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

The Onsite Nurse-Led Education Programme on IPC

The programme was designed to enhance CCWs' IPC knowledge and attitudes through lectures, interactive discussions, information sharing, and Q\&A sessions. It also aims to improve their IPC practices and self-efficacy through demonstrations, role-playing exercises, and a work assignment focused on IPC self-monitoring. The programme includes five educational sessions totalling 12 hours, along with one session for work assignment on daily self-monitoring of IPC practices over five days. The educational sessions cover the following topics: 1. General concepts of infectious diseases 2. Vaccination 3. Standard precautions: The use of personal protective equipment, environmental cleaning and disinfection, handling food and feeding, and waste management 4. Standard precautions: Hand hygiene 5. Common infectious diseases in DCCs and management.

BEHAVIORAL

The Online Nurse-Led Education Programme on IPC

The online version of the nurse-led education programme was conducted using an online meeting platform. It includes the same content, learning activities, and materials as the onsite delivery programme, except for the practice stations, which cannot be provided to participants in the online delivery. Additionally, all documents will be available for download via the online platform.
