Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed major gaps in infection prevention and control (IPC) worldwide. Despite guidance from organisations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), nurses, as frontline responders, faced considerable challenges in implementing IPC practices globally. This study compared nurses’ experiences in Nepal and Scotland in adhering to IPC guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic using a theory-based approach.
