Positive Deviance
The recipients of the Positive Deviance intervention are the staff members of the three wards in the intervention arm, while the outcomes are measured among the patients receiving care in the three wards in the intervention arm. Key components of the intervention were invitation to participate voluntarily, open-ended dialogues with staff members to discover barriers and seek solutions to prevent HAI, discussion of outcomes, and encouragement to prioritize and implement the solutions generated.
