摘要

联合感染预防和控制™（a-IPC™）认证旨在为感染预防学家和从事感染预防和控制（IPC）职业的人员提供入门级证书。为了评估其影响，向591个a-IPC™证书颁发者分发了一份电子调查，得到103名受访者（17.4%的回复率）。该调查探讨了获得认证的动机、资金来源、可感知的利益和改进建议。调查结果突出了a-IPC™认证作为开始IPC职业生涯的个人入门级证书的价值。

Opening the door to infection prevention: A survey of a-IPC certificants.

The Associate-Infection Prevention and Control (a-IPC) certification was developed to provide an entry-level credential for infection preventionists and those pursuing careers in IPC. To evaluate its impact, an electronic survey was distributed to 591 a-IPC certificants, yielding 103 respondents (17.4% response rate). The survey explored motivations for obtaining certification, funding sources, perceived benefits, and suggestions for improvement. Survey findings highlight the a-IPC certification value as an entry-level credential for individuals beginning their IPC careers.
