Questionnaire survey of knowledge,attitude and practice about prevention and control of nosocomial infection among grassroot health care workers
OBJECTIVE To understand the current status of knowledge,attitude and practice(KPA)about preven-tion and control of nosocomial infection among the grassroots health care workers after COVID-19 pandemic so as to provide basis for formulating prevention and control programs.METHODS An online questionnaire survey was conducted in a tertiary general hospital by using"Questionnaire Star"applet in Dec,2021,the content included baseline data,knowledge of infection control,awareness of infection control and infection control behaviors.Sta-tistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 23.0 software.RESULTS A total of 722(93.13％)health care workers were involved in the survey,and the result of the survey showed that 41.97％of the health care workers fully grasped the infection control knowledge,68.28％held a completely positive attitude toward the infection control,and 65.93％were able to implement infection prevention and control behaviors.Multivariate logistic re-gression analysis was carried out on three dimensions of knowledge,attitude and practice,and the result showed that post,department and marriage status were the influencing factors for the knowledge about nosocomial infec-tion prevention and control(P＜0.05),age,title and education background had the impact on the attitude toward infection control(P＜0.05),the department was the only influencing factor for the practice dimension(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis indicated that the knowledge about prevention and control of nosocomial infection showed weak positive correlation with the attitude(r=0.403,P＜0.001),the knowledge showed weak positive correlation with the practice(r=0.404,P＜0.001),and the attitude showed weak positive correlation with the practice(r=0.308,P＜0.001).CONCLUSION The influencing factors and correlations of KAP can be used by the hospital managers to improve the prevention and control measures for nosocomial infection.The demand for the knowledge of infection control can be further explored based on the study result,reasonable training programs can be designed,and the awareness of infection control of the health care workers can be improved so as to cultivate the positive attitude and practice.
