This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of IPC among students at the College of Health Technology Akaajime, Gboko. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted using a structured, self-administered questionnaire among 150 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data analysis revealed that while most students possessed good knowledge (over 90%) and had a positive attitude (above 85%) toward IPC, actual practice was moderate, with gaps in hand hygiene, sharps disposal, and surface cleaning. A statistically significant relationship was found between knowledge and practice (p 0.05). The study concludes that although knowledge and attitudes were generally high, practice was inconsistent. The findings highlight the need for improved practical training, adequate supply of IPC materials, and institutional enforcement to bridge the knowledge-practice gap. Recommendations were made to strengthen IPC education and monitoring systems in the institution. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Public Health project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of public pit toilet system and its associated problems - case study of Udi lga, Enugu state»Cultural practices and implication to health promotion among Akoko northeast local government area, Ondo state»Knowledge, attitudes, practices and perceived benefits of environmental sanitation among adults in Osogbo local government area Osun state, Nigeria»Assessment of the utilization of standard precaution in the prevention of disease among health care workers in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Health seeking behaviours of persons with tuberculosis among residents in Amanator Ideato south Lga, Imo state»Awareness of health risks and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases among youths in Wadata community, Makurdi, Benue state»The challenges facing confidentiality of patients health information and how to improve on it»Challenges of osteoarthritis and its management in older adults above 65 in Awuda village, Anambra state»Awareness and practices in the prevention of iron deficiency anaemia among elderly in Owan east Lga, Edo state»The attitude of pregnant women towards the utilization of insecticide treated mosquito nets in Gwale local government area of Kano state»Health care seeking behaviour among the aged 60yrs in Bende local government area in Abia state»Awareness of health implication of self-medication among the students of Paraclete Secondary School, Enugu state»Factors influencing the use of traditional medicine in the treatment of malaria among the residents of Arulogun area, Ede, Osun state»Awareness of prostrate disorder and access to counselling among male adults in Madonna University Teaching Hospital, Rivers state»Perception and attitude of women of childbearing age towards caesarian celivery in Ede South Local Government Area, Osun State
