The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between organizational culture for infection control and practice of standard precaution, and explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy in Hospital nurses. Methods: A descriptive research design was used. The subjects of this study were nurses working at the Hospital. Data collection was done using a self-report questionnaires in June 2019. Total 172 nurses participated for survey paper. IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 was used. Results: The mean scores of organizational culture for infection control and practice of standard precaution were 56.39 and 161.76 respectively and self-efficacy was 67.52. Practice of standard precaution was positively associated with self-efficacy (r = 0.53, p < 0.001), and organizational culture for infection control (r = 0.39, p < 0.001). Self-efficacy plays a full mediation in the relationship between organizational culture for infection control and practice of standard precaution (Z = 4.43, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Improving self-efficacy may help in increasing practice of standard precaution.
