Evaluation of infection control effectiveness in healthcare workers' practices using the ASK model

Objective This study evaluated the impact of ASK model-based training on infection control practices among hospital cleaning staff. Methods We recruited 31 cleaning staff from the internal medicine department. A tailored ASK training system was implemented, comparing pre- and post-training performance in key infection control procedures, theoretical knowledge, and ATP-based cleaning efficacy. Results Post-training hand hygiene compliance increased from 30.30%to 83.62% ( p < 0.05). Knowledge assessment pass rates improved from 45.20 to 83.90% (hand hygiene) and 38.70 to 71.00% (cleaning-related knowledge). ATP pass rates for hand hygiene and environmental surfaces also improved significantly (both p < 0.05). Conclusion ASK model training effectively enhances cleaning staff's knowledge, skills, attitude, and infection control performance, suggesting a useful framework for future training programs.
