“…6,7,8 In fact, no psychometrically tested observation measures were found in a 2013 integrative review of instruments to measure compliance with infection control practices. 9 There is some evidence that features of the safety climate are related to HCW safety practices, including adherence to SP, [11][12][13][14][15][16] in a systematic review conducted to examine the relationship between patient safety climate and SP we found that despite several high quality studies this topic is underexplored and all studies used different and self-report measures. 17 Because the correlation between observed and reported SP adherence using psychometrically validated tools that account for the features of the safety climate remains unknown, the specific aim of this study was to examine the relationship among these measures of SP adherence and safety climate factors in hospital settings using psychometrically tested instruments.…”

“…Some studies have shown that healthcare workers training along with other factors such as perceptions of safe environment, perception of obstacles to comply with standard precautions and knowledge are strong predictors of compliance with IC standard (18). We found that in comparison with nonteaching hospitals, hand hygiene practices were better in teaching hospitals but antibiotic prophylaxis and safe injection performances were suboptimal.…”

Background: Although Iranian women increasingly attend hospitals for childbirth, no information is available on programs and practices related to infection control in labor and delivery units. Objectives: This study aims to investigate infection control program management and midwives' practices in labor and delivery units. Patients and Methods:We analyzed data related to infection control program management and also practices performed by 88 midwives in four labor and delivery units in public hospitals in Zahedan, southeast Iran. Results:The evaluation scores for all aspects of infection control were suboptimal; infection control program management 38.1% to 71.4%, healthcare workers post-exposure measures 58.5% to 92.7%, medical waste management 73.9% to 87.0% and infection control related standard infrastructures and equipments 55.9% to 82.8%. The midwives mean scores for attending infection control training courses and hand hygiene were less than 40% of the maximum score, but the mean scores for normal vaginal deliveries scrub, and equipments and instruments hygiene practices were generally above 70%. Conclusions:The results of this study revealed a need for development of appropriate policies and protocols for infection control practices in labor and delivery units and also midwives training on clean delivery practices.

“…A review of factors that influence adherence indicates that variables like the organizational safety climate, perceived obstacles, professional degree, care delivery to a smaller number of patients, risk personality and self-efficacy should not be ignored. (26) …”

Objective: To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of accidents involving potentially contaminated biological material in nurses. Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 121 nurses. The research instrument was a self-applied questionnaire with sociodemographic and occupational accident-related variables. Results: Sixty-five (53.8) nurses were victims of occupational accidents involving exposure to potentially contaminated biological material. Sixty-three (52.1%) were related to piercing-cutting materials and 22 (18.2%) to exposure of the mucosa and/or non-intact skin. No statistically significant difference between the groups was found in terms of accident events and reporting (p=0.791 and p=0.427); knowledge of the immune response (p=0.379); change of piercing-cutting material collector (p=0.372) and training on standard precautions (p=0.158). A statistically significant different in the training was found (p=0.014), as nurses working at smaller establishments indicated greater desire to participate. Conclusion: Accidents are frequent among the nurses and training is positively related with adherence to standard precautions. ResumoObjetivo: Investigar ocorrência e características dos acidentes com material biológico potencialmente contaminado em enfermeiros. Métodos: Estudo transversal que incluiu 121 enfermeiros. O instrumento de pesquisa foi um questionário autoaplicável com variáveis sociodemográficas e relacionadas a acidentes de trabalho. Resultados: Em relação à ocorrência de acidente do trabalho com exposição a material biológico potencialmente contaminado entre enfermeiros, 65 (53,8%) foram vítimas. Destes, 63 (52,1%) por perfurocortantes e 22 (18,2%) por exposição à mucosa e/ou pele não íntegra. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos quanto à ocorrência e notificação do acidente (p=0,791 e p=0,427); conhecimento da resposta vacinal (p=0,379); troca de recipiente de perfurocortantes (p=0,372) e treinamento sobre precauções padrão (p=0,158). Com relação ao treinamento foi verificada diferença estatisticamente significativa (p=0,014) uma vez que enfermeiros nos estabelecimentos menores relataram maior desejo de participação. Conclusão: Os acidentes são frequentes entre os enfermeiros e o treinamento relaciona-se positivamente à adesão às precauções-padrão.
