Abstract

Vanessa explored how perceptions of disease causation and transmission influence infection control practice at Atoifi Adventist Hospital. She found germ theory was only one component. Social, cultural and spiritual beliefs also guided practice. Local beliefs must be incorporated into infection control programs to reduce hospital acquired infections in the Pacific.
