Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the factors that affect the performance of blood-borne infection prevention activities for hospital nurses.
Methods: This was a descriptive study and a total of 202 nurses from hospitals located in B Metropolitan City were selected as research subjects. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires from July 1 to 20, 2023. The SPSS/WIN 22.0 software was used for analysis. This involved the t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe? test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression.
Results: The level of risk perception was 3.74±0.48 (scale range: 1-5), and that of hospital safety culture was 3.33±0.50 (scale range: 1-4). The level of infection prevention behavior was 3.46±0.41 (scale range: 1-4) and was positively related to perceived benefit (r=.32, p<.001) and hospital safety culture (r=.41, p<.001). The significant predictors for infection prevention behavior were infection report habitat(β=.173, p=.016), perceived benefit (β=.15, p=.011), and hospital safety culture (β=.31, p<.001). These variables explained 26% of the variance in the infection prevention behavior.
Conclusion: Based on these results, maintaining a system for infection reporting habitat for each working department is necessary to enhance the implementation of blood-borne infection prevention activities for nurses. Additionally, there is a need for effective strategies to promote the perceived benefits and foster a culture of safety within the hospital.
