Enhancing infection prevention and control practices among nurses: The mediating role of resilience and the moderating effect of training participation - 31/10/25
Résumé |
Background |
Infection prevention and control (IPC) practices are essential for pandemic preparedness. This study examined the individual-level cognitive and psychological factors influencing IPC practices among nurses during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
Methods |
A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 120 nurses in Korea from July 7 to August 31, 2022. Partial least squares-based path analysis was performed to assess the relationships among knowledge, nursing attitude, resilience, IPC practices, and training participation, as well as the mediation and moderation effects.
Results |
Knowledge (β = 0.216, P = .007) and resilience (β = 0.211, P = .014) significantly influenced IPC practices. Resilience significantly mediated the relationship between nursing attitude and IPC practices. Training participation significantly moderated the effects of knowledge on resilience (β = 0.184, P = .004) and nursing attitude on IPC practices (β = 0.158, P = .025). The adjusted R2 value of resilience was 13.3%, whereas that of IPC practice was 18.6%.
Conclusions |
Nurses’ knowledge and attitude enhance IPC practices through the mediating effect of resilience and the moderating role of training participation. Prioritizing practical reinforcement training and resilience-building programs can strengthen IPC compliance and improve infection prevention in future outbreaks.
