Abstract
Objective: To analyze factors influencing nurses’ adherence to standard precautions. Method: The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology was used. Results: Twelve studies were analyzed, and the following factors were identified as influencing nurses' adherence to basic infection control precautions: inadequate training/education, unavailability of materials, lack of support/incentives from management, professional experience, and lack of awareness/education/training. Conclusion: There is a clear need to develop written procedures and recommendations and to disseminate this information to health care professionals. This will help to raise awareness and promote the adoption of best practice, thereby reducing the risk of infection and improving patient safety.
