Abstract
Introduction: Learning infection control is crucial for healthcare professionals who care for patients. The general objective of this study is to improve nursing students’ knowledge and skills in infection control (IC) through a training course. Methods: An interventional study one-group pre-/post-test design was utilized to measure changes in the Knowledge and Skills of Nursing Students in Infection Control. A convenient sampling technique was used to recruit (58) nursing students in a private college at Saudi Arabia, in 2021 / 2022- academic years. Results: The main findings of the study showed that, all knowledge items showed significant improvement (p value<0.001), the median percent score in each and every knowledge item reached 100%. After conducting the IC training, the total mean percent score of the students in the immediate post-test was 81.78 ± 13.71which is significantly higher than pretest (p value<0.001), all skills showed significant improvement (p value<0.001) except thermometer cleaning didn’t show the significant change (p-value 0.080). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that education and training on infection control measures improved knowledge and skills of nursing students and this will be reflected on the quality of patient care
