Cover Story: Infection prevention and control (IPAC) education and training are crucial in long-term care (LTC) homes, where residents are vulnerable to infection and visitors can unknowingly introduce harmful agents. While visitor restrictions help prevent outbreaks, they also lead to isolation, depression, and decreased quality of life for both residents and visitors, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to IPAC. IPAC education and training for visitors are essential, as studies show that gaps in visitor adherence to protocols, exacerbated by inconsistent policies, contribute to infectious disease outbreaks in LTC homes. This review maps IPAC education and training for LTC home visitors from 1990 to early 2023, providing insights for future research and policy. View this paper
