Perceptions of organizational culture among infection preventionists in Israel, the United States, and Thailand: Results from national infection prevention surveys.

In national surveys of infection preventionists in Israel (n = 15), the United States (n = 415), and Thailand (n = 100), we found that views of organizational culture track well with these countries' cultural dimension scores of power distance and individualism. Our findings highlight the importance of considering cultural dimensions when implementing infection prevention efforts. • Organizational culture can influence infection prevention and infection rates. • Infection preventionist organizational views align with national culture scores. • Consider cultural dimensions when implementing infection prevention efforts.
