INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL A SOCIAL SCIENCE PERSPECTIVE (PB 2023) Paperback

For anyone working in health and social care, understanding social sciences is crucial for effective infection prevention and control (IPC). This new book, "Infection Prevention and Control: A Social Science Perspective," argues that IPC is not just a technical field focused on germs. Instead, it's deeply connected to people and their actions within specific situations and cultures. Therefore, the book examines various relevant social sciences and their connection to IPC in different settings and cultural contexts. Because IPC is important for everyone involved in healthcare, and remains a worldwide challenge, exploring new angles and ideas that broaden our understanding in the constantly changing field of IPC is a logical step
