Determinants of Adherence to Safe Injection Practices Among Nurses in Primary Healthcare Centres in Rural Nigeria
Background
Safe injection practices are essential for preventing healthcare-associated infections, protecting healthcare workers, and improving patient safety. Nurses perform a substantial proportion of injection-related procedures and are expected to adhere to established infection prevention standards. However, shortages of supplies, inadequate training, and workplace challenges may affect compliance. Understanding determinants of safe injection practices among nurses is important for strengthening infection prevention efforts and reducing occupational health risks in rural healthcare settings.
Research Objectives
- Assess nurses’ knowledge of safe injection practices.
- Determine adherence to recommended injection safety guidelines.
- Evaluate resource availability for safe injection practices.
- Examine factors associated with adherence.
- Identify predictors of compliance with safe injection standards.
Research Questions
- What is the level of knowledge regarding safe injection practices?
