This study examined the effects of multimodal strategies on knowledge and practices in preventing multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission among healthcare personnel (HCP), and to investigate MDRO transmission in two surgical intensive care units (SICUs). A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. We recruited 62 HCP. Data were collected during 2017-2019. Multimodal strategies, including training, educational and reminder posters, an educational YouTube

After the intervention, median knowledge scores increased from 16.0 to 17.0 (p = .001), and overall correct MDRO prevention practices increased from 76.6% to 94.0% (p < .001). The MDRO transmission rate decreased from 25% to 0% (p < .001). The findings indicate that multimodal strategies could enhance knowledge and practices for preventing MDRO transmission among HCP and could reduce the MDRO transmission rate in SICUs.
