Résumé
There is poor self-reported (SR) execution of infection prevention and control (IPC) among physicians and nurses. Self-leadership is considered an important factor to enhance IPC SR-execution. This study aims to explore the associations between self-leadership and IPC SR-execution among physicians and nurses. A cross-sectional study of 26,252 physicians and nurses was conducted in all secondary and tertiary hospitals in Hubei province, China. A questionnaire was designed to measure physicians' and nurses' self-leadership, which includes positive traits and negative traits, and IPC SR-execution, which includes motivation, process, and outcome. Positive traits and negative traits of self-leadership had significant positive associations with SR-execution motivation (β = .582, P < .001) (β = .026, P < .001), SR-execution process (β = .642, P < .001) (β = .017, P < .001), and SR-execution outcome (β = .675, P < .001) (β = .013, P < .001). This study recommends that health care institutions should focus on cultivating positive traits of self-leadership among physicians and nurses. Although negative traits of self-leadership can also promote IPC SR-execution, the association is limited and may lead to risks.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
There is poor self-reported (SR) execution of infection prevention and control (IPC) among physicians and nurses. Self-leadership is considered an important factor to enhance IPC SR-execution. This study aims to explore the associations between self-leadership and IPC SR-execution among physicians and nurses.
METHODS
METHODS
A cross-sectional study of 26,252 physicians and nurses was conducted in all secondary and tertiary hospitals in Hubei province, China. A questionnaire was designed to measure physicians' and nurses' self-leadership, which includes positive traits and negative traits, and IPC SR-execution, which includes motivation, process, and outcome.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Positive traits and negative traits of self-leadership had significant positive associations with SR-execution motivation (β = .582, P < .001) (β = .026, P < .001), SR-execution process (β = .642, P < .001) (β = .017, P < .001), and SR-execution outcome (β = .675, P < .001) (β = .013, P < .001).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
This study recommends that health care institutions should focus on cultivating positive traits of self-leadership among physicians and nurses. Although negative traits of self-leadership can also promote IPC SR-execution, the association is limited and may lead to risks.
