The Infection Control Advocate and Resident Education educational modules integrate and promote infection prevention and control (IPC) measures and residents' rights in nursing homes, targeting long-term care ombudsmen, residents, families, and other resident advocates. Survey respondents (N = 102) reported increased knowledge in understanding IPC and preserving resident rights. Integrating these topics and identifying barriers to promoting IPC is necessary for implementing quality IPC in nursing homes.
