Abstract
Nosocomial infection defined as an infection acquired in hospital by a patient who was admitted for other disease and has been claimed to occur at least 48 to 72 hours after patient’s admission and within 30 days of discharge. In order to prevent the nosocomial infection spreading, the standard precautions is one of the ways to minimize the risk of infections. Thus, this study was aimed to compare the knowledge and practices about standard precaution in preventing the nosocomial infections among final year nursing and medical students in USM. Moreover, the researcher also wants to compare the association between selected socio-demographic data (type of enrollment of programme and gender) with knowledge and practices of standard precaution in preventing the nosocomial infections among final year nursing and medical students in USM. There were 177 respondents which is nursing students (42) and medical students (135) included in this study. There was significant difference in mean level of knowledge with standard precautions among nursing students (95.95) and medical students (86.27) at USM. There was significant difference in mean level of practice with standard precaution among nursing students (84.83) and medical students (76.06) at USM. There was no significant association between type of enrollment programme with level of knowledge of standard precaution for both programme (p=0.065). But, there was significant association between the enrollment programme with practice of standard precaution (p-0.019). Lastly, there was no significant association between gender with level of knowledge and practices of standard precautions in preventing nosocomial infections for both of programs. The researcher conclude that the level of knowledge and practices among the students were excellent but still need to increase the knowledge and practices. Hence, educational program can be conducted to increase the level of knowledge and practices about standard precautions among nursing and medical students at USM.
