Abstract

Infections that occur in patients during treatment in hospitals and other health care facilities, where the patient had no infection upon admission and is not in the incubation period, are called nosocomial infections. These include infections that appear after the patient has left the hospital, as well as those affecting hospital staff and health workers resulting from activities related to the health care process in such facilities. The problem of nosocomial infections (HAIs) is a global challenge for hospitals, because it can result in increased morbidity rates (morbidity rates that describe the incidence of disease in a population over a certain period of time) and mortality (the number of deaths due to certain diseases or natural deaths), as well as incur higher medical costs and prolong the duration of hospitalization. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with nurses’ performance in implementing nosocomial infection prevention at Kendari City Regional General Hospital. Using a quantitative approach, the research employed an Observational Analytical method with a Cross-Sectional Study design. The study involved a sample of 150 nurses. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate techniques. The study results indicated that the variables of Knowledge (p = 0.000), Workload (p = 0.000), Motivation (p = 0.000), and Supervision (p = 0.000) were significantly related to nurses’ performance in implementing nosocomial infection prevention at Kendari City Regional General Hospital. This means that Knowledge, Workload, Motivation, and Supervision all influence how effectively nurses carry out infection prevention measures.
