discharged for home based care where the family members play a major role in taking care of these patients with the assistance of the Home Based Care Volunteers. These family care givers can become exposed to infection like HIV when providing care to patients if they do not apply infection prevention procedures. This descriptive quantitative study will specifically aim at assessing the knowledge of the family care givers, the practice, and factors that promote or hinder the practice of family care givers from practicing on infection prevention. The study will be conducted at Kawale catchment area, in Lilongwe District. The participants will be 15 women family care givers. Data will be collected through an interview and analyzed manually using content analysis. |
