PALS: A new didactic approach to IPC training in Nigeria
In this paper, it describes the teaching method that delivers the PALS concept, which strengthens teamwork, improves the communication and collaboration skills of participants, and promotes the active and supportive involvement of hospital management in IPC teams. The PALS training fosters the creation of a solution-oriented culture by leveraging local affordances to address context-specific IPC solutions by incorporating the PALS concept into a fruitful organizational change process.
PALS: A holistic understanding of IPC practice in Nigerian hospitals:
A systemic view on IPC practice, participatory working culture and social skills that serve as enabling forces for IPC practice improvement in Nigerian hospitals. PALS acknowledges and mirrors the social and infrastructural contextualization of IPC practice in work routines. Here Change Agents become a catalyst that links IPC theories to practice realities and enhance process improvement and organizational development.
