The spread of microorganisms is caused by direct or indirect contact, respiratory droplets, and airborne transmission. Knowledge and compliance with standard precautions are crucial in preventing infection in the hospital.
To assess the level of knowledge and compliance with standard precautions among registered nurses who work in military hospitals and the factors affecting compliance with standard precautions.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Four hundred and eight registered nurses at three Jordanian Royal Medical Services hospitals completed an online self-report questionnaire using a convenience sampling technique. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used to analyze the data.
The level of knowledge of standard precautions among nurses was excellent, with an overall mean score of 15.59 ± 2.22 out of 20; around half (54%) of them had an excellent level. Nurses' compliance with standard precautions was intermediate, with an overall mean score of 59.65 ± 14.57 out of 80. Forty-seven percent of nurses had a high degree of compliance. Compliance with standard precautions was correlated positively with age, working experience in years, total knowledge score, training in standard precautions, and availability of personal protective equipment, and negatively with exposure to sharp injuries.
Nurses play a key role in preventing and managing hospital infections through their responsibility for a large proportion of patient treatment and care. Therefore, efforts should be made to improve nurses' perceptions of the basic elements of standard precautions. Even so, results showed that compliance with standard precautions was intermediate. This highlights the need to take the necessary measures to raise the level of compliance. Even so, results showed that compliance with standard precautions was intermediate.

微生物的传播是由直接或间接接触、呼吸道飞沫和气溶胶传播引起的。了解并遵守标准预防措施对于预防医院感染至关重要。
评估在军队医院工作的注册护士对标准预防措施的知识水平及遵守情况，以及影响遵守标准预防措施的因素。
进行了一项描述性横断面研究。约旦皇家医疗服务机构三家医院的408名注册护士采用便利抽样技术完成了一份在线自我报告问卷。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）25版对数据进行分析。
护士对标准预防措施的知识水平良好，在满分20分中总体平均得分为15.59 ± 2.22；约一半（54%）的护士水平优秀。护士对标准预防措施的遵守情况为中等，在满分80分中总体平均得分为59.65 ± 14.57。47%的护士遵守程度较高。对标准预防措施的遵守情况与年龄、工作年限、总知识得分、标准预防措施培训以及个人防护设备的可获得性呈正相关，与锐器伤暴露呈负相关。
护士在预防和管理医院感染中发挥着关键作用，因为他们负责大部分患者的治疗和护理。因此，应努力提高护士对标准预防措施基本要素的认识。即便如此，结果显示对标准预防措施的遵守情况为中等。这凸显了采取必要措施提高遵守水平的必要性。即便如此，结果显示对标准预防措施的遵守情况为中等。这凸显了采取必要措施提高遵守水平的必要性。
