Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a major component of health systems and affects both the health and safety of people who use health services and those who provide them. The Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework (IPCAF) is a tool for the assessment of IPC in healthcare centers.
In the present study, we examined the hospitals of Tehran from this point of view.
Thirty-one hospitals were examined through IPCAF form. All the data were analyzed in SPSS version 25. Twenty-three centers (74.1%) were at the advanced level; 7 centers (22.5%) were at the intermediate level and only one center (3.2%) was at the minimum level. The lowest score was related to the field of education. There was no significant difference between private and public hospitals in terms of IPC score ( > 0.05).
Hospitals of Tehran are at advanced level in terms of IPC, and the lowest score is related to the field of education, which needs more investigation and effort to improve it.
感染预防与控制（IPC）是卫生系统的一个主要组成部分，影响着使用卫生服务的人员以及提供卫生服务的人员的健康与安全。感染预防与控制评估框架（IPCAF）是一种用于评估医疗保健中心感染预防与控制情况的工具。
在本研究中，我们从这一角度对德黑兰的医院进行了检查。
通过IPCAF表格对31家医院进行了检查。所有数据均在SPSS 25版本中进行分析。23个中心（74.1%）处于先进水平；7个中心（22.5%）处于中等水平，只有1个中心（3.2%）处于最低水平。最低分数与教育领域相关。私立医院和公立医院在感染预防与控制得分方面无显著差异（>0.05）。
德黑兰的医院在感染预防与控制方面处于先进水平，最低分数与教育领域相关，这需要更多的调查和努力来加以改善。
