After intervention, scores for HCWs with senior, intermediate, junior and below professional titles on knowledge were (9.15±2.36), (7.69±2.05), and (7.73±2.32)respectively,which were all higher than(6.46±2.12),(5.30±1.55),(6.16±1.80) before intervention,difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05). After intervention, scores for HCWs of junior and below professional titles on attitude and practice were (91.50±9.26) and (86.40±14.52)respectively,which were both higher than (85.95±13.36) and (76.01±15.25)before intervention,differences were both statistically significant(both P<0.05); while scores for HCWs of senior and intermediate professional titles on attitude and practice were not statistically significant(both P>0.05).ConclusionCompared with the knowledge about HAI prevention and control, more effect needs to be put for achieving change in HCWs’ attitude and practice towards HAI prevention and control; change in attitude and practice among HCWs of junior and below professional titles on HAI prevention and control is easier to be implemented.
