Hygienic Culture and Personal Awareness: Examining Knowledge and Training Needs in Nosocomial Infection among Hospital Staff

Abstract

Hospital staff frequently encounter various infections while performing their duties, requiring a thorough knowledge of and stern commitment to infection control procedures. This study sought to assess hospital staff members' knowledge and infection control methods. A total sample of 245 hospital staff members participated in the study, which used a descriptive correlation research approach. An observation checklist was used to evaluate hospital staff procedures, and a self-administered questionnaire was used to gauge staff understanding of infection control methods. The survey found that 71.0% of hospital staff members had insufficient practices for infection control measures, and 85.3% of them had poor knowledge. The results showed that most hospital staff members had insufficient awareness of infection control procedures and poor practices in place. Frequent training sessions are crucial for improving the nosocomial infection control procedures and knowledge of hospital staff.
