Nurses’ knowledge and practice of blood-borne pathogens and infection control measures in selected Beni-Suef Hospitals Egypt

Conclusion and recommendations: Both the knowledge and the practice of Beni-Suef Hospitals’ nurses against BBP and IC standards were fair. The administration score was the only independent determinant for practice. Healthcare facilities should focus on increasing nurses’ awareness for strict adherence to IC standards, and implement training and preventive programs to minimize the risk of needle-stick injuries. All nurses should be vaccinated against HBV.
