Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of healthcare students fromMedicine and Nursing School on infection control.Methods: To measure students’ knowledge of infection across-sectional study was performed using a 6 multiple-choicequestionnaire, regarding 3 specific areas: standard precautions(SP), hand hygiene (HH) and nosocomial infection (NI). The overallperfect score was 25, obtained adding 12 (SP) + 8 (HH) + 5 (NI).The cut off was a score of 17.5. Data were collected in 10 Schoolof Medicine and Nursing, coming from all part of Italy. T test wasused to compare score.Results: 1569 students (629 medical students and 940 nursingstudents) were included in the study. The mean overall score(±SD) was 18.00±3.29. Nursing student had a better mean overallscore (18.5±3.01) than medical students (17.3±3.53) and thedifference was at a significant level (p < 0.001). The same significantdifference was observed stratifying results by investigated area:for SP 10.36±1.94 vs. 10.0±2.24; for HH 4.63±1.10 vs. 4.12±1.22;NI 2.89±1.03 vs. 2.73±1.26.Conclusion: As already observed in other studies, the instructionlevel was effective (18/25); however, knowledge levels weredifferent by area and curriculum.
