CHIPCAT and HFMD-PREP for HFMD Prevention in Childcare Centres in Kota Kinabalu

2026年10月9日 更新者:Helmy Sajali, MD, MPH

Development and Evaluation of CHIPCAT and HFMD-PREP for HFMD Prevention in Childcare Centres in Kota Kinabalu: A Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomised Trial

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is endemic in Malaysia and disproportionately affects children in childcare settings, where institutional infection prevention and control (IPC) capacity is frequently inadequate. This study develops and evaluates two linked tools: CHIPCAT (Childcare Infection Prevention Capacity Assessment Tool), which generates the Infection Prevention Capacity Index (IPCI) as an institutional capacity score, and HFMD-PREP (HFMD Prevention and Response Enhancement Programme), a structured capacity-building intervention mapped to CHIPCAT domains. Following instrument development and validation, the intervention is evaluated using a stepped-wedge cluster randomised trial (SW-CRT) across 12 licensed childcare centres in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. All centres receive HFMD-PREP by the end of the study; only the timing of crossover differs by randomised sequence. The primary outcome is the change in IPCI. Secondary outcomes are staff and parent knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) scores. HFMD incidence is analysed as an exploratory secondary disease outcome. This study is also registered with the Malaysian National Medical Research Register (NMRR ID RSCH ID-26-05258-LQ3), with parallel ethics submission to the Ministry of Health Malaysia Medical Research Ethics Committee (MOH MREC).

武器和干预

参与者组/臂
干预/治疗
无干预:Control period (usual practice)

Period during which a centre has not yet crossed over to HFMD-PREP. Centres continue existing HFMD prevention routines, including any standard MOH-recommended practices already in place; no centre is asked to discontinue existing prevention activities.

实验性的:HFMD-PREP intervention period

Period following a centre's randomised crossover step, during which the centre receives HFMD-PREP (HFMD Prevention and Response Enhancement Programme), a structured six-component digital capacity-building intervention delivered to childcare providers (Track A) and parents/guardians (Track B) via the hfmdprep.my platform, mapped to the six CHIPCAT domains.

A structured, six-component digital capacity-building intervention mapped to the six CHIPCAT domains (governance and policies; human resources and training; service delivery practices; supplies and physical environment; communication and engagement; sustainability and system integration), delivered through Track A (childcare providers) and Track B (parents/guardians) via the hfmdprep.my platform.

研究衡量的是什么?

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Infection Prevention Capacity Index (IPCI)
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16

Centre-level composite score generated by CHIPCAT (Childcare Infection Prevention Capacity Assessment Tool), calculated as the sum of item scores divided by the total maximum possible score, multiplied by 100 (range 0-100, higher scores indicate greater institutional infection prevention and control capacity). Analysed using a linear mixed-effects model with fixed effects for intervention status and time period and a random intercept for centre.

Baseline (Week 0) and Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16

次要结果测量

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Staff Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) score
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16

Composite and subscale (knowledge, attitude, practice) scores from the Staff HFMD KAP questionnaire (Hamirudin et al., 2021), expressed as a percentage of subscale maximum. Analysed by linear mixed-effects model with random intercepts for individual nested within centre.

Baseline (Week 0) and Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16
Parent/Guardian Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) score
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16

Composite and subscale (knowledge, attitude, practice) scores from the Parent/Guardian HFMD KAP questionnaire (Abd Ghani & Mansor, 2024), expressed as a percentage of subscale maximum. Analysed by linear mixed-effects model with random intercepts for individual nested within centre.

Baseline (Week 0) and Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16
HFMD incidence (exploratory secondary outcome)
大体时间:Weeks 0 through 16 (aggregated across the 5 measurement periods)

Aggregated, centre-level HFMD case counts expressed as cases per 100 child-months, extracted from routine centre records. No individual child is enrolled or identified. AnalysWeeks 0 through 16 (aggregated across the 5 measurement periods)ed using Poisson or negative binomial models as an exploratory secondary disease outcome; the trial is not powered on this endpoint.
