A study to assess the level of knowledge and practice of 100 staff nurses on infection control measures was carried out in a tertiary care center.A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data.The mean knowledge of staff nurses regarding infection control measures was 75.5% and the mean reported infection control practice was 57.5%. After conducting exhaustive lectures on infection control related topics, a significant decline in the hospital-acquired infection (HAIs) rates was seen in the high-risk areas.Training of nursing staff is needed to improve knowledge and practice in infection control. |
