Abstract

bacterial infections and mycoses virus diseases medicine and health sciences diseases
This scoping review aims to identify and synthesise existing evidence on healthcare workers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) relating to standard precautions in low- and middle-income member states of the Pacific Community. Standard precautions are critical for preventing healthcare-associated infections and safeguarding both patients and healthcare personnel, particularly in resource-limited settings. Given the geographic diversity and healthcare challenges in the Pacific region, this review seeks to map the current state of KAP across member countries, highlight regional differences, and identify gaps in research and practice. The review will follow the Arksey and O’Malley framework, be guided by the PRISMA-ScR checklist, and include both peer-reviewed and grey literature. Findings will support future research, policy development, and targeted infection prevention strategies across the Pacific.
