Hand hygiene reminders for healthcare workers (HCWs) are commonly used to empower patients. However, this approach overlooks the role of family carers in delivering direct contact care in Asian countries. Limited knowledge exists regarding empowerment strategies for patients and their family carers in infection prevention and control (IPC) recommendations. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive exploration of IPC empowerment within the context of family involvement in care provision across Bangladesh, Indonesia, and South Korea.

Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is a gram-positive, toxin-forming, anaerobic bacillus, which is widely distributed in the intestinal tract of living organisms.1–3 The pathogenic properties are produced by toxins released into the gastrointestinal tract, in conjunction with a loss of balance within the gastrointestinal flora.4 C. difficile produces 2 protein exotoxins, toxin A and toxin B, which cause colonic mucosal injury. These toxins are not only responsible for active infection but are also targeted for testing purposes of C.
