The Factors Associated With Performance Among Infection Prevention and Control Linked Nurse During Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Background: Infection Prevention and Control Linked Nurses (IPCLN) are the spearhead of implementing the Infection Control Prevention Program. The performance of nurses in preventing and controlling infections during the Covid-19 pandemic greatly influenced the quality of services. Objective: This study aimed to determine the factors that influence the performance of IPCLN during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional study was performed on 34 nurses at Cicendo Eye Hospital with a total sampling technique. The questionnaire in this study included knowledge, motivation, supervision, and the performance of nurses which had previously been tested with these characteristics with a result of Cronbach's alpha of 0.75. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. Results: The mean score of IPCLN knowledge in this study was 14.82 ± 4.01, motivation 92.47 ± 15.85, supervision 34.74 ± 5.89, and performance 7.94 ± 2.71. There is a relationship between knowledge (p =.000), motivation (p =.000), and supervision (p =.000) on nurse performance. Motivation is the dominant factor influencing IPCLN performance compared to knowledge and supervision (Stand. Estimate = 0.5121; 95% CI = 0.1301–0.487; p
