Abstract

Nosocomial infections remain a major health problem in hospitals,
causing increased patient morbidity and mortality. Effective monitoring
and prevention by the Hospital Infection Control Team (PKRS) are
essential to reduce these infections. This community service program
empowered 15 PKRS members through training, Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) simulations, and post-training mentoring. Pre- and
post-tests were used to measure knowledge improvement, while
practical assessments evaluated compliance with infection control
protocols. Participants demonstrated a 38% average increase in
knowledge scores. Observations showed improved adherence to
revised SOPs and successful implementation of a new internal audit tool
for infection monitoring. The empowerment approach enhanced both
theoretical understanding and practical skills, fostering
interdisciplinary collaboration and strengthening the hospital’s infection
prevention system. Continuous mentoring contributed to sustainable
improvements in infection control practices
