Logistic regression was used for analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results:<\/jats:title>We found that health care workers feeling safe at work during the Ebola outbreak was primarily predicted by the number of IPC\/Ebola trainings received pre-ACCEL interventions. Health care workers felt increasingly safer and motivated to return to work as trainings approached 3 (OR 8, p<\/jats:italic>-value < 0.001); however, more than 3 trainings resulted in decreased safety and motivation. In addition, health care workers who reported washing their hands before and after patient contact were 3.4 times more likely to understand how to protect themselves from Ebola.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>These results help to better understand the utility of repeated trainings on health care worker practice attitudes and the importance of IPC policies within hospitals, such as hand hygiene promotion and education, when coordinating humanitarian efforts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/dmp.2020.52","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,29]],"date-time":"2020-05-29T10:52:35Z","timestamp":1590749555000},"page":"589-594","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Understanding the Predictors that Contribute to Liberian Health Care Workers Feeling Protected From Ebola While at Work"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3947-6220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kayla","family":"Enriquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kanagasabai","family":"Udhayashankar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Niescierenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"S193578932000052X_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhin.2015.06.019"},{"key":"S193578932000052X_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/jnr.0000000000000116"},{"key":"S193578932000052X_ref5","first-page":"714","article-title":"Community knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding Ebola virus disease \u2013 five counties, Liberia, September\u2013October 2014","volume":"64","author":"Kobayashi","year":"2015","journal-title":"MMWR Morb Mortality Wkly Rep"},{"key":"S193578932000052X_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/NNA.0000000000000261"},{"key":"S193578932000052X_ref8","first-page":"17","volume-title":"Source Code Biol Med","volume":"3","author":"Bursac","year":"2008"},{"key":"S193578932000052X_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"164","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-777X.145247","article-title":"The emergence of Ebola as a global health security threat: from lessons learned to coordinate multilateral containment efforts","volume":"6","author":"Kalra","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Glob Infect Dis"},{"key":"S193578932000052X_ref1","unstructured":"1.
