Résumé
Purpose@#This study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge on Standard Precautions, level of compliance to Standard Precautions, and General self-efficacy of nurses in a tertiary hospital. Also, this study aimed to identify the relationship between those variables.@*Design and Methods@#A descriptive correlational research design was utilized in the study. 168 nurses from the tertiary hospital from Nueva Ecija, Philippines were recruited to complete a questionnaire about their knowledge and compliance to Standard Precautions and their General self-efficacy. The data was coded, encoded, and statistically analyzed using PSPP 1.2.0 (GNU Project. New York City, New York, USA).@*Results@#Findings indicated that nurses have good knowledge and high compliance concerning standard precautions; also, findings showed that nurses have a moderate level of general self-efficacy. However, there was no remarkable relationship between the level of knowledge, level of compliance in Standard Precautions, and general self-efficacy.@*Conclusions@#Although the researcher concluded a high level of knowledge among nurses, statistical analysis showed no relationship when correlated with compliance. This concluded that knowledge of Standard Precautions does not necessarily influence compliance and its application. Also, findings inferred that a moderate level of general self-efficacy did not act upon the level of compliance of nurses to Standard Precautions.
