Abstract Background: Nursing students in the Philippines have to undergo clinical rotation not only in Hospital wards but also at other hospital departments such as (DR) Delivery Room and OR Operating Rooms. These areas that they need to be skillful with as it is part of their requirements before graduation thus giving them a chance for eligibility to take the Philippine Nursing Licensure Examination. Good role modeling and clinical supervision are key to developing a strong commitment to strict adherence to Infection prevention and control protocols for nursing students. Hence, this study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding infection control among Biliran Province State University student nurses.

Methods: This study used a descriptive correlational research design. Survey questionnaires were administered to collect data from 255 BSN students at Biliran Province State University. Participants ranged from second-year to fourth-year students. Most were 19-21 years old, female, and single Roman Catholics.

Results: The findings were therefore able to identify regard of knowledge as well as attitudinal towards infection control among the respondents. Over time majority of the students followed standard precaution measures most of the time. Interestingly, none of the six socio-demographic factors were found to have any relationship with the respondents’ level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Moreover, no correlation was evident which suggests that these variables are separate from each other between Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice.

Conclusions: The research presented herein highlights the need for further advances made in the tweaking of the education interventions in matters concerning support and reinforcement of IPC measures despite boasting a healthcare safety environment.
