Overconfidence in infection control proficiency

摘要

Background: Infection control partially depends on hygiene and communication skills. Unfortunately, motivation for continuous training is lower than desired. Many health care providers (HCPs) do not recognize the need for training but express this need for others. This is attributable to heuristic errors, such as the overconfidence effect. The aim of this study was to quantify the flawed self-assessment in infection-control.
