Alyaa H. Ali, Ahmed T. Saud.


Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate nurses' knowledge of nosocomial infection prevention.
Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Al-Basrah city at Al-Basrah Teaching Hospitals from October 24th, 2021, to April 13th, 2022. The participants of study were 100 nurses. The study's instrument, a pre-designed questionnaire, was used. The questionnaire was divided into two sections that covered sociodemographic information and understanding of nosocomial infection prevention. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed.
Results: Women made up the majority of the study population (57.0%), were more men to be in their 20s or 30s (66.7%), have nursing degrees (45%), and had one to five years of work experience (50%). The majority of them (84.0%) had previously undergone nosocomial infection-related training. A lack of association existed between total nurses' knowledge of nosocomial infection prevention and demographic characteristic, but there was a significant correlation within gender and this information (p=0.05).
Conclusion: The study concluded that the nurses lacked adequate understanding of nosocomial infection prevention.

Key words: Evaluation, knowledge, prevention, nosocomial infections.
