Nosocomial infections happen during the course of treatment and contribute to patient mortality and morbidity [1]. In developing countries, infection rates may exceed 25% [2]. The primary causes of nosocomial infections are poor hand hygiene among health care providers and failure to follow infection prevention precautions when providing care [3]. These infections have a significant impact on health care services and patient care in the United Kingdom, costing an estimated £1 billion per year. Nurses are the health care providers who have the most direct contact with patients and provide the most direct patient care [4]. As a result, nurses' compliance with infection prevention precautions would have a significant impact on lowering nosocomial infection rates.
