Results: Mean score of Knowledge, Awareness and Performance about standard precaution were 18.34±1.90, 4.59±0.32, 4.34±0.36, respectively. Statistically significant differences were shown in the Knowledge (p=0.007) related to the experience of exposure to sources of infection, the Knowledge (p=0.026) related to Post exposure procedure and the Awareness (p=0.020) related to gender. There was positive correlation between the Awareness and Performance of Standard Precautions. Awareness of standard precautions only stood out significantly among the factors affecting the performance of standard precautions, accounting for 25% in the performance variance of standard precautions.
