Abstract Nosocomial infections are also known as healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), a significant concern due to the impact on patient’s safety, healthcare cost, and length of stay. Nurses are essential in preventing and managing these infections since they are the front-line healthcare practitioner. Theis study is to evaluate the level of awareness and practices related to nosocomial infection control in private hospitals in Puerto Princesa City. It particularly examined nurses’ familiarity with infection control guidelines, their adherence to standard protocols, and the extent to which training and institutional support influence their infection prevention behaviors. By exploring these elements, the study aimed to determine how educational programs and organizational initiatives contribute to enhancing healthcare staff competencies, subsequently improving patient care quality and ensuring a safer clinical environment.
The study employs a mixed method design to determine the awareness and practice of nosocomial infection control among healthcare personnel in private hospital in Puerto Princesa City. This design of the study focused on providing a thorough overview of nurses awareness and practices to prevent such infections within healthcare settings. The design emphasized the quantitative description of nurses’ level of awareness and infection control practice and data collection utilized a structured survey based on the Infection Control Knowledge and Practice Questionnaire (ICKPQ), as well as qualitative description of actual nursing practices via direct observation
Nurses are knowledgeable about nosocomial infection, including their definition, kinds, modes of transmission and hospital policies. They understand the need to follow protocols, preventive measures, droplet and vector-borne transmission. Even with compliance to suggested guidelines, problems such as inconsistent disinfection of IV port can result in infection concerns. This shows that without structural support, appropriate staffing and continuous procedural reinforcement, knowledge alone is insufficient. The implementation of infection control measures in practice can be significantly improved by increasing nurses’ knowledge through education and training,
