Key Points

To assess awareness, perceptions, and compliance with infection prevention and control protocols among healthcare professionals.
Conducted surveys to evaluate knowledge and perceptions
Analyzed adherence rates to infection control practices
Identified barriers to compliance within the institution
Awareness of infection prevention protocols was satisfactory among healthcare workers
Compliance with standard practices was suboptimal
Challenges included lack of leadership support and insufficient supply of PPE

Abstract

Although knowledge of IPC was satisfactory, adherence to standard practices among HCWs at FMC Keffi remains suboptimal due to systemic and institutional challenges rather than knowledge deficits. Strengthening leadership commitment, ensuring sustainable PPE supply chains, implementing continuous professional training, and reinforcing monitoring mechanisms are essential to enhance IPC compliance and reduce HAIs.
