However, the study revealed that age [aOR=0.25; 95%CI=0.09-0.69), p=0.007] and in-service training or workshop [aOR=9.55; 95%CI=1.23-74.36), p=0.031] were statistically significant to healthcare workers’ knowledge in preventive measures of nosocomial infections. Conclusion: The study concludes that age and participation in-service training or workshop are significant factors that influence the knowledge of healthcare workers in preventive measures for nosocomial infections.
