Data analysis was done using SPSS 20v and summarized by descriptive statistics. Proportion and Chi-square was calculated at 5% α.Results: HCPs included in the study were 1060. Among them, there were 412(38.9%) doctors, 550 (51.9%) nurses and 98 (9.2%) technicians. Among 862 HCPs who work outside the operation theatre (OT) and ICU, appropriate uses of PPE were only 156 (18.1%). It was high among doctors 109 (31.5%) followed by nurses 39 (9.3%) and technicians 8 (8.2%) which was statistically significant p=0.0001. HCPs working in OT and ICU were 423 and 183 respectively. Among HCPs working in OT, appropriate use of gloves, mask, apron, gown and hair cover was 100%. But the use of goggles and shoe cover was very low.

“…Furthermore, they proved that compliance with standard precautions correlates with nurses' perception of risk, type of training received, their level of practice, and the nature of work setting. [17][18][19][20] Studies revealed that ICUs, emergency rooms and medicalsurgical units have the highest rates of needle stick injuries, where nurse interns spend their internship year. [1,17,21] Reasons behind nurses' noncompliance with standard precautions may include personal habits, carelessness, discomfort with PPE shortage of time, staff and supplies.…”

Aim: Compliance with standard precautions (SPs) is a critical workplace safety issue for nurse interns (NIs) as they are clinically incompetent, and obligated to cover nursing shortage in intensive care units (ICUs). Thus current study aimed to assess factors affecting NIs' compliance with SPs. Methods: Descriptive study design was used. The sample included 110 NIs trained in ICUs at University Hospitals. Tools: Tool (I) Factors affecting NIs' compliance with SPs included items on compliance with SPs, environmental risk factors, stick injuries, and vaccination, influence of role-modeling and refreshment program on compliance with SPs. Tool (II) Knowledge test covered SPs and transmission of blood-borne pathogens. Results: About 40% of NIs noncompliance with SPs due to lack in supplies and equipments, Majority of them had low and moderate knowledge level regarding SPs. 71.8% had 4-6 times needle stick injuries and 88.2% didn't report it. 39.1% never use protective equipment in emergency and 29.1% always recap contaminated needles. Conclusions: NIs are at risk of stick injury as they lacking knowledge and skills regarding SPs. Moreover, lacking of supplies and training programs regarding SPs, and absence of reporting system of these incidents contribute to NIs noncompliance with SPs thus they are more at risk of blood transmitted diseases.

“…Three articles comprise a cross-sectional survey evaluating HCW compliance rates vis-à-vis UP/SP, [27][28][29] while the other four studies are mixed designs. [30][31][32][33] Cutter and Jordan conducted two studies in the area of HCWs compliance toward UP/SP, which makes their outcomes more convincing and trustworthy, as multiple studies by authors in the same area gives them greater expertise in the field.…”
