We aimed to examine and compare the knowledge and practice of prevention and control of Nosocomial infection among nurses and nursing students in Amol.

  Material and Methods : This cross­-sectional study was conducted on 190 nurses working in state hospitals of Amol (n­=100) and internship nursing students (n=90) in 2010.­We collected the data by a questionnaire including personal characteristics, knowledge and practice part, and analyzed, using statistical software SPSS-16,by descriptive statistics and independent samples t­-test, chi-square and Pearson correlation.

  Results: The mean score of nurses' knowledge and practice, respectively,­ was 6.91±1.06 and 8.00±1.33 in the range of 0-10 that is significantly more than students' knowledge and practice 6.29±1.73 and 7.56 ± 7.56­(P­=0.­009). More Than half of the participants (59% of students and 53.4% nurses) have a moderate level of knowledge. There is significant difference between nurses' knowledge and students' (P­=0­.­003).

  Conclusion: The results suggest that students’ knowledge and performance is weaker than those of nurses. And they both need to receive Documented and managed training programs related to prevention and control of nosocomial infection during their educational period and work.

Results: The participants of case group were evaluated three times by DOPS and the ones in control were assessed once by routine method. The DOPS average point of case group stage 2 and 3 was significantly higher than that of controls (0.0001). But in control group, no change in mean point and no promotion in clinical performance were observed.

Results: In accordance with the mean scores of positive SSC (106.32±35.03), negative SSC (36.64±5.16) and sexual performance (22.30±2.68), there was a significant correlation between positive SSC and sexual performance(r= 0.23, p<0.001), and between negative SSC and sexual performance (r= 0.38, p<0.001). Furthermore, positive SSC directly and negative SSC inversely was the predictor of sexual performance of married women.
