Abstract

Study aim: We reviewed the most recent research in this study to assess the effect of dissemination strategies on healthcare workers' adherence to workplace control and preventive guidelines for infectious diseases.
Method: This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2009 declaration. We searched the databases of Cochrane, Embase, and Medline for articles published between 2010 and 2015. We verified the references in the included publications' list of references and the references of pertinent systematic reviews. Only randomized controlled studies were searched. We concentrated on studies that assessed how distribution strategies affected healthcare workers' adherence to workplace control and preventive guidelines for communicable diseases of the respiratory system.
Result and conclusion: Six randomized controlled trials that focused on healthcare workers' HHC and preventive practices were included in this study. The WHO multimodal strategy for improving hand hygiene, meetings, educational materials, and vaccinations were the interventions put into practice. The two outcomes of interest are vaccination uptake and HHC. Vaccination uptake, HHC, and knowledge of prevention and control were the control and prevention adherence outcomes that were assessed for over 54393 healthcare workers in all categories. Compared to the control, the use of multimodal distribution techniques led to increased immunization rates and HHC among HCWs.
