Abstract

Aims: Evaluating Nurses’ Infection Control practices is essential for maintaining established protocols and identifying weaknesses and areas for improvement. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate Nurses’ practices regarding Infection Control measures in Intensive Care Units. Instrument & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Hilla City at the four main teaching hospitals on 200 Nurses selected using a non-probability sampling from October 1, 2023, to April 8, 2024. The total number of practices included in the evaluation list was 55 items. The evaluation checklist was validated by experts, and its reliability was verified through a pilot study. Data were collected using three observation methods and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: A considerable portion (81%) of Nurses demonstrated inadequate practices in Infection Control measures within Intensive Care Units, with relatively low average scores. Nurses’ age (p=0.013), education level (p=0.0001), years of experience (p=0.0001), years of experience in the current workplace (p=0.0001), and the number of training courses attended (p=0.0001) were associated with these practices. Conclusion: Older age, higher education level, more years of experience, longer tenure in the current workplace, and participation in more training courses are associated with better Nurses’ practices regarding Infection Control measures.
