Description
Angela Leung, Terence Lau, and Doris Leung wrote this clinical trial report, published in 2023. It tests a game-blended training system that teaches care home staff how to control infections, built during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thirty residential care homes joined the trial, though pandemic cases forced many to delay or refuse visits. In the end, 212 staff at thirteen homes took part, split by home into training and comparison groups. The training mixed games with standard teaching drawn from World Health Organization and local guidance. Afterward, the trained group used gloves and protective gear far more reliably. Their self-reported infection control habits also scored higher. The authors say the system worked and deserves a place in routine staff training for care homes.
