This cross-sectional study investigates infection prevention and control (IPC) competencies among healthcare professionals in northwest China, examining the influence of demographic factors, job titles, education, work experience, and hospital levels.
Data from 874 respondents across 47 hospitals were collected through surveys assessing 16 major IPC domains. Statistical analyses, including Mann-Whitney tests, were employed to compare competencies across variables.
Significant differences were identified based on gender, job titles, education, work experience, and hospital levels. Females demonstrated higher IPC competencies, while senior positions exhibited superior performance. Higher educational attainment and prolonged work experience positively correlated with enhanced competencies. Variances across hospital levels underscored context-specific competencies.
Demographic factors and professional variables significantly shape IPC competencies. Tailored training, considering gender differences and job roles, is crucial. Higher education and prolonged work experience positively impact proficiency. Context-specific interventions are essential for diverse hospital settings, informing strategies to enhance IPC skills and mitigate healthcare-associated infections effectively.
这项横断面研究调查了中国西北部医疗保健专业人员的感染预防与控制（IPC）能力，考察了人口统计学因素、职称、教育程度、工作经验和医院级别等因素的影响。
通过对47家医院的874名受访者进行调查，收集评估16个主要IPC领域的数据。采用包括曼-惠特尼检验在内的统计分析方法，比较不同变量间的能力。
根据性别、职称、教育程度、工作经验和医院级别发现了显著差异。女性表现出更高的IPC能力，而高级职位表现更优。更高的教育程度和更长的工作经验与能力提升呈正相关。医院级别间的差异凸显了特定背景下的能力。
人口统计学因素和专业变量显著影响IPC能力。考虑性别差异和工作角色的针对性培训至关重要。高等教育和更长的工作经验对熟练程度有积极影响。针对不同医院环境的特定干预措施必不可少，可为提高IPC技能和有效减少医疗相关感染的策略提供依据。
