“…This behavior has become increasingly prevalent during viral outbreaks. People fear contracting the virus through surface contact or in the air, with hospitals being viewed as particularly high‐risk environments where chairs, tables, papers, door handles, medical equipment, and even individuals are considered potential sources of infection (Bae, 2020). The fear of contamination has initiated self‐protective/safety‐seeking behaviors, including social distancing, isolation, contactless shopping and payment, and increased reliance on technology to reduce direct human contact (Khatoon et al, 2023; Kim & Im, 2022; Mehrolia et al, 2020; Milaković, 2021; Saltzmann & Boenigk, 2022; Yap et al, 2021).…”

“…Nevertheless, IPC is a complex system that entails numerous system-related components, including the individuals, workload, and the tools used and environment, etc. [ 5 , 8 – 10 ]. Each of these system-related elements may pose risks for HCAI acquisition, making it essential to take into account all the system-related factors with respect to improve IPC behaviors.…”

“…Numerous studies have investigated the in uence of system-related factors on IPC behaviors, such as workload, hand hygiene equipment, comfort of protective equipment, and layout, among others. [5,10]. Each of these systemrelated elements may pose risks for HCAI acquisition, making it essential to take into account all the system-related factors with respect to improve IPC behaviors.…”
