Abstract

Background: Indentifying influential factors on the wellbeing of health personnel plays a significant role in the promotion of effectiveness and outcomes of health systems. This study aimed to determine the AWARENESS, ATTITUDE and PERFORMANCE of NURSES regarding principles of universal precautions.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the data were obtained through a questionnaire. The study sample was all of the NURSES at Zabol, Iran, hospitals in 2010. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire was approved in a pilot study. Knowledge, ATTITUDE and PERFORMANCE scores were categorized as weak, average and good. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, Student’s t, chi-square and Fisher’s exact test.Results: The mean AWARENESS score of 39.1% of the NURSES was average, and of the rest (60.9%) was good. The ATTITUDE score of 10.4% of NURSES was average and 89.6% had a good ATTITUDE toward COMPREHENSIVE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLES. The PERFORMANCE score was weak in 13.9%, average in 68.7%, and satisfactory in only 17.4% of the NURSES. There was no significant relationship between age, gender and work experiences with AWARENESS, ATTITUDE and PERFORMANCE of NURSES; but, there was a significant relationship between PERFORMANCE and the serving hospitals.Conclusion: Despite good AWARENESS and ATTITUDE of NURSES regarding COMPREHENSIVE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLES, their PERFORMANCE was weak. So, official’s attention should become more in performing training classes and continuous educational courses.
