A survey of nursing students found nearly 40 percent of respondents believed they needed more education on infection prevention, according to an article on the Becker's Infection Control and Clinical Quality website.
Researchers found a link between the amount of time respondents spent on infection control education and their self-reported ability to perform these tasks when busy.
Students who reported receiving less than an hour of instruction in these areas were more likely to find it difficult perform infection prevention tasks when busy, the article said.
Fifty-one percent reported noticing poor infection control practices during rotation, but had difficulty expressing their concerns.
