Background — Nosocomial infection (NI) is among the most common and serious challenges in a healthcare system. Health workers and medical students play an important role in prevention of NI. Despite advances in the field of medicine in Kazakhstan, low detection rate of NIs remains unchanged, which could be due to a lack of awareness of the standard precautions for infection control among medical students and health workers. This study is aimed at examining knowledge and judgments on NIs among medical and non-medical students. Material and Methods — We conducted a cross-sectional paper-based survey to examine the knowledge and judgments about the standard precautions for NI among medical and non-medical students. Data collection took place between September 21 and December 20, 2017. Results — The study enrolled 2,817 students. The mean overall score (±SD) was 2.045±1.29. Medical students had a better mean overall score (2.113) than non-medical students (1.785; p<0.001). Awareness of the standard preventive measures was increasing with a year of study, but still just one-third of year 5 medical students were aware of standard prevention (36.3% vs. 17.4% for non-medical students; p<0.001). Conclusion — The overall score of our survey indicated inadequate knowledge and awareness of the guidelines on infection prevention and control among both medical and non-medical students. In order to improve patient safety and welfare, the courses on infection control should be introduced into the curricular of medical universities in Kazakhstan.

“…Among the factors that can influence the occurrence of this infection is the susceptibility of the host, the environment, and the influence of care practices by healthcare professionals [5,6]. The current prevalence rate of HAI in developed countries is around 7% and in developing countries it is around 10% [7,8]. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control estimates that up to 4.6 million people acquire a HAI each year in acute care settings, which represents the most deadly and costly adverse event in public hospitals across Europe [9].…”

“…To address this challenge, the World Health Organization emphasized the importance of formally including HAI prevention and control modules in healthcare students' undergraduate courses, thereby training them to be active agents of change in clinical practice. Amongst them, nursing students' education and training in this field are essential to ensure the quality and safety of the care provided [8,11]. Nursing students play a critical role in the spread of pathogens and the prevention of infectious diseases as members of the healthcare team, as they treat and care for a wide range of patients throughout their clinical placement [11].…”

Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are one of the major concerns worldwide, posing significant challenges to healthcare professionals’ education and training. This study intended to measure nursing students’ perceptions regarding their learning experiences on HAI prevention and control. In the first phase of the study, a cross-sectional and descriptive study with a convenience sample composed of undergraduate nursing students from Portugal, Spain, Poland, and Finland was conducted to develop the InovSafeCare questionnaire. In the second phase, we applied the InovSafeCare scale in a sample of nursing students from two Portuguese higher education institutions to explore which factors impact nursing students’ adherence to HAI prevention and control measures in clinical settings. In phase one, the InovSafeCare questionnaire was applied to 1326 students internationally, with the instrument presenting adequate psychometric qualities with reliability results in 14 dimensions. During phase two, the findings supported that Portuguese nursing students’ adherence to HAI prevention and control measures is influenced not only by the curricular offerings and resources available in academic settings, but also by the standards conveyed by nursing tutors during clinical placements. Our findings support the need for a dedicated curricular focus on HAI prevention and control learning, not only through specific classroom modules, innovative resources, and pedagogical approaches, but also through a complementary and coordinated liaison between teachers and tutors in academic and clinical settings.

“…This agreed with Al-Maskari et al (2019) in Oman they find significant correlation between the nurses' knowledge and sexes. However, Majidipour et al (2019) in Iran reported a significant relationship between the nursing studtheir sexes (p= 0.014) and academic educational year (p = 0.015).…”
