Abstract Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) or nosocomial infections are still the most common problems in health services. Hospitals need to implement infection prevention and control (IPC) as a standard for the quality of hospital services and to protect patients, health workers and visitors from unexpected infections. In fact, the implementation of infection prevention and control programs in various hospitals had not been well implemented. This article analyzed the factors affecting the implementation of infection prevention and control programs in hospitals. This article used a literature review method using 30 articles from various data sources such as Google Scholar, NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality), ScienceDirect, and PSNet (Patient Safety Network). The literature used were articles published during the last ten years, according to the specified inclusion criteria. The results of this article review indicated that the factors affecting the implementation of infection prevention and control programs in hospitals were the management function, the role and function of the room’s leader, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, and organizational culture factors.
