Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in the structural relationship of nursing students¡¯ performance related to nosocomial infection control (NIC).
Method: Data was collected by using a questionnaire completed by 238 nursing students of three nursing colleges in Suwon, Sokcho.
Results: The mean score of performance related to NIC was 3.86. The highest mean score of performance related to NIC was 4.18 () for ¡¯hand washing¡¯ and the lowest mean score was 3.56 () for ¡¯respiratory system¡¯. In prediction of the intention of nursing students¡¯ on NIC, the attitude, the subjective norm, and the perceived behavior control(PBC) of TPB resulted in statistically significant influencing factors (p<0.050). These three variables explained 47.6% of the total variance of the intention of nursing students¡¯ on NIC. In predicting the performance related to NIC, the PBC resulted in the direct and main influencing factor of nursing students¡¯ performance related to NIC (p<0.010). Intention was not a significant determinant. These two variables explained 13.2% of total variance of the performance related to NIC.
Conclusion: This study shows the TPB model¡¯s applicability in explaining performance related to NIC of nursing students and highlights the importance of PBC for strategies to enhance performance related to NIC in nursing students.
