Analysis of Evaluation of Implementation of Standard Precautions in Prevention and Control of Healthcare Associated Infections at the Kendari City Regional General Hospital in 2024

HAIs infections are infections that occur in patients during treatment in hospitals and other health care facilities where when they enter there is no infection and is not in the incubation period. Standard precautions in preventing infection are very important to apply in hospitals, considering that staff contact with patients’ bodies increases exposure from patients to staff or vice versa. The research was conducted to evaluate the implementation of standard precautions in preventing and controlling HAIs infections in Kendari City Regional Public Houses in 2024. The research was conducted in the period from April to May 2024. All data that was collected was analyzed using a content analysis approach, namely comparing the research results with existing theories and a literature review. The research results show that hand hygiene has not been fully implemented by nurses in accordance with the 5 moments and 6 steps of hand washing. The use of PPE has been fully implemented by nurses, especially in the use of masks and gloves. Coughing and sneezing etiquette has not been fully implemented by nurses because nurses have not thrown tissues into infectious waste bins.  Safe injection practices have not been fully implemented by all officers because there are still those who carry out recapping.
