Abstract: 
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a significant global threat, impacting patient
safety and resource utilization. This study, conducted in a hospital setting in Baghdad, Iraq,
examined the effectiveness of educational interventions in raising nurses' and physicians'
awareness of infection prevention and control (IPC) practices aligned with WHO guidelines.
Baseline knowledge and adherence to IPC practices were assessed through observations and
interviews with nurses and physicians.
To address identified knowledge gaps, targeted educational materials were developed. These
materials were then used to deliver training sessions for the targeted staff. To measure the
impact of the intervention, pre- and post-training evaluation forms were administered.
The study anticipated observing an improvement in nurses' and physicians' knowledge of IPC
principles, as measured by the evaluation forms. Additionally, the study hoped to provide
insights into the potential influence of such educational interventions on actual IPC practices
within the hospital environment.
This study highlights the educational interventions on IPC awareness that is a crucial step to
combat HAIs. Results include improving patient safety and reducing HAIs, which helps
implement the efficient instructional programs for healthcare workers working in such
conditions.
