Abstract

The study aimed to assess factors influencing hospital-acquired infection prevention and
control practices among health workers. The objectives included assessing hand hygiene,
waste segregation, and safe injections. A cross-sectional descriptive study with 120
participants from various clinics was conducted. Results showed that most respondents
had adequate knowledge on infection prevention and control. The study recommended
that health facilities provide guidelines, supervise workers, provide adequate disposal
materials, and conduct regular health education and seminars for workers. This would
help reduce the rate of new infections, hospital stays, and health service costs
