Keywords:
Predicting Factors, Practices, Prevention of Drug Resistant Organism Transmission, Registered Nurses, Regional HospitalsAbstract
Drug resistant organism infection is a major global health problem which severely affect patients. It is necessary to effectively prevent the transmission of drug resistant organism. This study aimed to determine practices and factors predicting the practices of registered nurses in the prevention of drug resistant organism transmission. The samples included 441 Registered Nurses working in the medical and surgical department of three regional hospitals under the Ministry of Public Health. Data were collected using a self - administered questionnaire developed by the researcher, which consisted of five parts: personnel information, knowledge, attitudes, support, and practices in prevention of drug resistant organism transmission. The response rate was 75.7%. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The results showed that 70.0% and 58.7% of samples had a good level of knowledge and very good attitude towards the prevention of drug resistant organism transmission, respectively. Eighty six percent reported that they received very good support. Eighty eight percent had very good practice. Knowledge, attitude and support could predict practices in the prevention of drug resistant organism transmission at 21.1% (p<.05).
The organization should continuously educate Registered Nurses on up-to-date evidence-based prevention of drug resistant organism transmission so that their practices in the prevention of drug resistant organism are more effective.
Key words: Predicting Factors, Practices, Prevention of Drug Resistant Organism Transmission, Registered Nurses, Regional Hospitals
