Abstract
nurses should use the standard precautions as the basic level of infection control precautions when delivering care to all patients, regardless of their presumed infection status. Therefore midwifes and nurses should have sound knowledge and compliance with standard precaution. Aim of the study: The study aimed to evaluate nurse’s compliance with infection control measures in delivery room. Method: An exploratory descriptive study was conducted from August 2015 and extended to February 2016 on 51 nurses from four hospitals in Damietta governorate. The data were collected from labor rooms of Damietta hospitals. Data were collected using self-administer questioners, observational checklist and modified Likert scale. Results: The current study showed that the poor of standard precautions knowledge level and compliance are 72% and 100% respectively. There are relation between age, education, work experience, and compliance with standard precautions at p < 0.05. At the same time a significant relation between training courses and compliance to standard precautions at p < 0.05. Conclusion: The nurses in the current study for both knowledge and compliance have poor level regarding standard precautions. There is a relation between age, education, work experience, and compliance with standard precautions.
