Compliance with standard precautions among hematology nurses: A cross-sectional study
1Medical Center of Hematology, Xinqiao Hospital of Army Medical University, Military Key Clinical Specialty, State Key Laboratory of Trauma and Chemical Poisoning, Chongqing Key Clinical Specialty, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Hematology and Microenvironment, Chongqing, China.
Background:
Standard precautions (SP) are an important method for preventing and controlling hospital infections. However, the level of compliance with standard precautions in haematology nurses is not high. This study identified various types of hematological nurses in Chongqing and the factors that influence their compliance with SP.
Methods:
Hematology nurses from 33 Chongqing central hospitals were chosen as study participants for a cross-sectional survey in November 2022. Latent class, univariate and logistic regression were used to analyze nurses' SP compliance and its influencing factors.
Results:
With a 98% response rate, we gathered 702 valid surveys in total. The compliance with nurses' SP was classified into 2 latent classes: low (42.1%) and high (56.9%). The results of binary logistic regression analysis revealed that recruitment methods, participation in standard preventive knowledge training, organizational support, depersonalization, and personal achievement were the main factors influencing compliance with nurses' SP (P < .05).
Conclusions:
Hematology nurses demonstrated modest compliance with SP, with some variation. Nursing management should monitor the compliance characteristics of various nurses' SP, adopt targeted intervention strategies, and improve SP compliance.
