Abstract：
Healthcare settings have a high prevalence of infectious agents. This narrative review examines the existing evidence regarding infection prevention and control (IPC) using the WHO Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework (IPCAF) tool in healthcare facilities. A total of 13 full length papers from Africa, Asia and Europe were considered for this review. The findings showed that there are discrepancies in the IPCAF values from insufficient to advanced level. The current review shows an advanced IPCAF level in middle income and high income countries. Low income countries showed a lower IPCAF score. There is a need to enhance the IPC capacity building and to supply infection prevention resources to prevent healthcare associated infection (HAI) with a focus on low income countries.
摘要：
医疗保健机构具有高流行的传染因子。本叙述性审查审查了在医疗机构中使用WHO感染预防和控制评估框架（IPCAF）工具进行的有关感染预防和控制（IPC）的现有证据。总共有13篇来自非洲的论文，本次审查考虑了亚洲和欧洲。调查结果表明，IPCAF值从不足到高级水平存在差异。目前的审查显示，中等收入和高收入国家的IPCAF水平较高。低收入国家的IPCAF得分较低。有必要加强IPC能力建设，并提供感染预防资源，以预防医疗保健相关感染（HAI），重点是低收入国家。
