Abstract

The objective of this integrative review is to synthesise the best available evidence on (i) what and (ii) how theory has been implemented in the development of interventions aiding healthcare staff to prevent and control healthcareassociated infections. Consequently the specific review questions to be addressed are: 1. What theory-based interventions have been implemented to aid healthcare staff prevent and control healthcare-associated infections? 2. How are these interventions structured and applied? 3. To what extent are these interventions effective?
