The risk of acquiring and spreading infection must be minimized in nursing students because they are exposed to healthcare-associated infections during clinical training. To achieve this goal, students should be knowledgeable and competent in infection control practice before proceeding to their training hospitals.
This study assessed the nursing students' perception of the infection prevention climate in training hospitals in Saudi Arabia. It also examined the predictors of the students' perceptions.
A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used.
This investigation was part of a large study conducted in six Saudi universities. A total of 829 Saudi nursing students were included in this study. Data were collected using the Leading Culture of Quality in Infection Prevention scale and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Ethical approval was obtained from the King Saud University, and permission was given by the administration of each participating university.
The overall perception of nursing students indicated a modest infection prevention climate. Prioritization of quality and improvement orientation was rated as the highest dimensions, whereas psychological safety and supportive environment were the lowest. The nursing students in University F had the poorest perceptions among the six universities. The predictors of nursing student perception of their training hospitals' infection prevention climates were the university where they studied, their age, and participation in infection prevention seminars.
This article describes nursing students' perception of the infection prevention climate of their training hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Results may provide a unique theoretical underpinning on the perception and factors that effect an infection prevention climate. Thereby, previous knowledge and literature may be expanded. Results can be used as a guide in establishing clinical policies in efforts toward improving the infection prevention climate.
护理学生在临床培训期间接触到与医疗保健相关的感染,因此必须将获得和传播感染的风险降到最低。为了实现这一目标,学生在前往实习医院之前,应该在感染控制实践方面具备知识和能力。
本研究评估了沙特阿拉伯实习医院护理学生对感染预防氛围的看法。还探讨了学生看法的预测因素。
采用定量、横断面设计。
本调查是在沙特阿拉伯六所大学进行的一项大型研究的一部分。共有 829 名沙特护理学生参加了这项研究。使用领导质量文化在感染预防规模收集数据,并使用描述性和推断性统计进行分析。获得了沙特国王大学的伦理批准,并获得了每个参与大学行政部门的许可。
护理学生的整体看法表明感染预防氛围适中。质量优先和改进导向被评为最高维度,而心理安全和支持性环境则是最低的。六所大学中,F 大学的护理学生感知最差。护理学生对其实习医院感染预防氛围的看法的预测因素是他们所就读的大学、他们的年龄以及参与感染预防研讨会。
本文描述了沙特阿拉伯护理学生对实习医院感染预防氛围的看法。结果可能为感染预防氛围的感知和影响因素提供独特的理论基础。从而可以扩展以前的知识和文献。结果可用于指导制定临床政策,努力改善感染预防氛围。
