    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Infection Control
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Assessing the necessity of microbiological knowledge for nurses in infection control.
    • Evaluating the current level of microbiological knowledge among nursing professionals.

    Observation:

    • A survey of a large nursing population was conducted.
    • The study focused on perceived importance versus actual presence of microbiological knowledge.

    Findings:

    • Microbiological knowledge is deemed essential for effective infection control.
    • Nurses' existing knowledge levels do not meet the requirements for 'informed' practice.

    Implications:

    • Identifies a critical gap between perceived and actual nursing knowledge in infection control.
