    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Infection Control
    • Patient Safety

    Background:

    • Effective infection control is vital for preventing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).
    • Caregiver insight into HAI factors is essential for informed patient care and outcome assessment.
    • Recent studies indicate a gap between ideal and actual caregiver knowledge regarding HAIs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the reasons behind the lack of critical evaluation in nursing knowledge and practice concerning infection control.
    • To investigate the preparedness of nurses in safe and informed infection control practices.

    Main Methods:

    • This article presents a critical review and examination of current nursing knowledge and practice in infection control.
    • It analyzes the educational and practical frameworks for preparing nurses in infection prevention.

    Main Results:

    • Current nursing knowledge and practice in infection control appear to be insufficiently questioned or examined.
    • There are significant concerns regarding the adequacy of nurse preparation for implementing safe and informed infection control measures.

    Conclusions:

    • A critical re-evaluation of infection control education and practice within nursing is urgently needed.
    • Enhancing nurses' understanding and application of infection control principles is paramount for improving patient safety and reducing HAIs.
