acquired in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, the
patient must have been admitted for reasons other than the
infection. He or she must also have shown no signs of active
or incubating infection. These infections occur: up to 48
hours after hospital admission, up to 3 days after discharge,
up to 30 days after an operation in a healthcare facility when
a child was admitted for reasons other than the infection
(Dramowskiet al., 2016).
Hospital-acquired infections are caused by viral,
bacterial, and fungal pathogens; the most common types are
Bloodstream Infection (BSI), Pneumonia (e.g., Ventilator-
Associated Pneumonia [VAP]), Urinary Tract Infection (UTI),
and Surgical Site Infection (SSI) (CDC, 2011).
Research Setting:
The current study will be conducted in pediatric care
setting (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Medical and
Surgical and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) affiliated to Ain
Shams University Specialized Hospital.
Research Subjects:
This study will include all nurses at the previously
mentioned setting.

Tools of the study:
The researcher will design an interview questionnaire
sheet after reviewing the recent related literature. It will be
written in an Arabic language in form of closed question to
gather data in relation to the following items:
Part (1): It consists of two parts
a. Demographic characteristics of the studied sample.
b. Knowledge of the studied sample regarding infection
control.
Part (2): It concerned with knowledge and practices of the
studied sample regarding infection control it consists of two parts:
a. Observation checklist to assess performance of the studied
sample regarding infection control.
b. Environmental checklist sheet to assess the infrastructure
of the unit.
Results:
The findings present study could be summarized as the
following:
The finding study Showed that the majority of studied
nurses (92.0%) were females,(35.0%) of them were in the
age group of 20-25 years Meanwhile, the highest
percentage of the studied nurses (40.0%) was secondary
nursing school.
Summary
138
Less than half of the study subjects (45.0%) are having
experience (5) years to less than (10) years in nursing
field and half of them (50.0%) of them are working in
ICU. In relation to attend a training on infection control,
also two third (63.8%) of the studied nurses attend a
training course on infection control and above two third
(65.0%) of them received hepatitis B vaccination.
The previous study revealed that almost two third (60.0%)
of the studied nurses had unsatisfactory knowledge
regarding HAI, while more than one third (40.0 %) of
them had unsatisfactory knowledge.
Regarding total performance about infection control more
than half (59.0%) of them incompetent and more than one
third (41.0%) competent performance.
It is clear from the previous study revealed that above half
(54.0%) of the studied nurses had incompetent score
regarding infrastructure of their unit, while less than half
(46.0 %) of them had competent score of infrastructure of
their unit.
There was high statistically significant differences
between education of the studied nurses and their total
knowledge at p<0.05, while non-significant differences
between age, years of experience, and attend a training of
the studied nurses and their total knowledge at p<0.05.
