Tuberculosis infection control in a high drug-resistance setting in rural South Africa: Information, motivation, and behavioral skills

Abstract: HCWs in rural South African hospitals with high drug-resistance demonstrated moderate IMB and implementation of TB IC. Improvement efforts should emphasize the development of HCW motivation and behavioral skills as well as social support from colleagues and supervisors. Such interventions should be informed by baseline IMB assessments. In the present study, a trimmed/modified IMB model helped characterize TB IC implementation.

“…Notwithstanding the availability of guidelines on the implementation of TB infection control practices in healthcare facilities [17, 18], research conducted in South African health facilities found that infection control is often not well implemented [1927] despite healthcare workers displaying good levels of knowledge about infection control practices [19, 20, 25]. While knowledge may not always be associated with good practices, research has found that motivation and support are priorities for the implementation of interventions to increase healthcare workers’ appropriate execution of TB infection control practices [20].…”

“…The IMB model has been suggested as a promising theoretical model to promote active TB medication adherence, 20 but has yet to be applied and tested as such. In TB literature the model has been applied to guide researchers to assess healthcare workers TB infection control information, motivation and behavior skills 23 and to suggest examples of ways to manage latent TB. 24 …”
