ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the influencing factors on the practice of standard precautions for infection control among healthcare workers in naval and marine medical units. Methods: This study is a descriptive study where 151 physicians, dentists, registered nurses, nursing assistants, medical technicians, and uncertified assistants were sampled to respond to a self-reporting questionnaire from July to October 2020. Results: The knowledge score had a significant difference among the licensed healthcare professional group, unlicensed but certified health workers group, and uncertified assistants group (F=12.35, p<.001). The practice score was significantly different between men and women (t=-3.85, p<.001). The safety climate score was found to have a positive correlation with the practice score (r=.23, p=.004). The multiple regression analysis presented that the safety climate score influenced the score of Standard Precautions practice (ß=.36, p=.005). The model explained 34.3% of Standard Precautions practice (F=7.06, p<.001). Conclusion: It is important to build a safe climate to promote healthcare workers’ practice of standard precautions in naval and marine medical units.
