Factors Influencing Nursing Students’ Performance of Standard Precautions: Focused on Awareness of Standard Precautions, Nurses’ Attitude toward Standard Precautions, and Safety Environment

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify factors influencing the performance of standard precautions among nursing students. Methods: Data were collected from 205 junior and senior nursing students using self-administered questionnaires during the period from August 24 to September 7, 2022. They were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Independent t-test, One way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation and Stepwise multiple regression using the SPSS program. Results: Significant correlations were observed between performance of standard precautions and awareness(r=.35, p ＜.001), nurse’s attitude(r=.17, p =.013) and safety environment(r=.40, p ＜.001). In addition, safety environment(=1.53, p ＜.001) and awareness(=.62, p ＜.001) predicted 24.1% in performance of standard precautions(F=22.83, p＜.001). Conclusion: Promoting nursing students’ awareness of standard precautions by various effective educational programs and fostering a safe hospital environment are considered to be important for improving performance of standard precautions in nursing students.
