OBJECTIVE: To explore infection preventionists' perceptions of hospital leadership support for infection prevention and control programs during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and relationships with individual perceptions of burnout, psychological safety, and safety climate.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey, administered April through December 2021.
SETTING: Random sample of non-federal acute-care hospitals in the United States.
PARTICIPANTS: Lead infection preventionists.
RESULTS: We received responses from 415 of 881 infection preventionists, representing a response rate of 47%. Among respondents, 64% reported very good to excellent hospital leadership support for their infection prevention and control program. However, 49% reported feeling burned out from their work. Also, ∼30% responded positively for all 7 psychological safety questions and were deemed to have "high psychological safety," and 76% responded positively to the 2 safety climate questions and were deemed to have a "high safety climate." Our results indicate an association between strong hospital leadership support and lower burnout (IRR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.50-0.74), higher perceptions of psychological safety (IRR, 3.20; 95% CI, 2.00-5.10), and a corresponding 1.2 increase in safety climate on an ascending Likert scale from 1 to 10 (β, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.93-1.49).
CONCLUSIONS: Our national survey provides evidence that hospital leadership support may have helped infection preventionists avoid burnout and increase perceptions of psychological safety and safety climate during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings aid in identifying factors that promote the well-being of infection preventionists and enhance the quality and safety of patient care.
