Infection prevention behaviour among hospital nursing staff: Navigating in a complex and shifting work environment

This study highlights the complexities faced by nursing staff in maintaining infection prevention behaviours within the dynamic hospital work environment. While nursing staff are professionally obliged to comply with hygiene routines, organisational support is essential for fostering sustainable working conditions. A multi-tiered approach is needed, from first-line managers to decision-makers, to promote a supportive environment that sustains safe practices.

Abstract

This study highlights the complexities faced by nursing staff in maintaining infection prevention behaviours within the dynamic hospital work environment. While nursing staff are professionally obliged to comply with hygiene routines, organisational support is essential for fostering sustainable working conditions. A multi-tiered approach is needed, from first-line managers to decision-makers, to promote a supportive environment that sustains safe practices.
