Abstract
Infection control professionals have traditionally relied on didacticism to promote behavior change among health care workers, but this approach yields disappointing results in a postmodern era of social fragmentation and intellectual ambiguity. We define a socioethical approach to behavior change and propose its implementation in 4 movements: from individualism to community, from rationality to rhetoric, from productivity to praxis, and from monologue to dialogue.
