Perceived Infection Prevention Climate and Its Predictors Among Nurses in Saudi Arabia.

Purpose: This study investigated the staff nurses' perception of the infection prevention climate and its predictors in two hospitals.

Design: This is a cross-sectional study employing a convenience sample of 224 staff nurses at two general hospitals in Riyadh province.

Methods: The study utilized a two-part questionnaire that captures respondents' characteristics and the validated tool on Leading a Culture of Quality for Infection Prevention (LCQ-IP).

Validity and reliability assessment of the Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale Arabic version in Saudi nursing students.

Strict compliance with standard precautions (SPs) is warranted to ensure the safety of patients in healthcare facilities. Nursing students (NSs), who are regarded as nurses in training, potentially play a role in cross-contamination in the hospital. NSs are also at high risk of acquiring infections in cases of ineffective compliance with SPs.
