Abstract: Health care-associated infection is one of the most common complications of healthcare management. Controlling the spread of disease and minimising the number of health-care associated infections are primary concerns for any healthcare facility. Infection control measures practiced by healthcare personnel to prevent spread, transmission and acquisition of infection between clients, from healthcare providers to clients and from clients to healthcare provider. Hospital infection control programs can help healthcare organisations monitor and improve practices, identify risks and proactively establish policies to prevent the spread of infections. Healthcare professionals need to be educated and periodically reinforce their knowledge through seminars and workshops to ensure high understanding of how to prevent diseases transmission. It is essential for the infection control training program to work closely with employee health service. This paper explores the awareness of infection control and its training effectiveness among nurses in the hospital. A questionnaire was framed and circulated to the nurses of that hospital in order to study the nurses awareness on infection control management and its training effectiveness. The expected outcome of this paper is improvement in infection control management among nurses and increasing some of the training needs to gain more knowledge. The findings are also expected to pave the way for future research work.
