Description
Filipa Ventura and co-authors test a teaching model for infection control among nursing students in sub-Saharan Africa, in a 2026 study. Sticking to hygiene and infection prevention practice saves lives, but structural and teaching gaps in the region can weaken it. The team adapted a questionnaire for the InovSafeCare model into local cultures and checked how well it measured what it should.
They gathered answers from 486 nursing students at four institutions in two countries. The questionnaire split into ten factors covering just over half the variation, with reliability scores in the fair to good range. A path analysis then tested the links the model proposes between its parts. The authors offer the checked tool as a base for stronger infection-control teaching.
