Article Abstract

Background: Organizational culture influences various aspects of service quality. This study conducted to identify the relationship between organizational culture and infection control practices among Jordanian nurses working in governmental hospitals.

Method: Using a descriptive, correlation cross-sectional design, a sample of 172 nurses was conveniently selected from three governmental hospitals. Self-reported questionnaires served as the primary data collection tool-subsequent data analysis employed both descriptive and inferential methodologies.

Result: Nurses in environments with clear infection control policies significantly outperformed their counterparts in infection control practices and organizational culture scores. Importantly, a positive correlation was found between nurses' infection control practice and organizational culture.

Conclusion: Infection control practices and organizational culture are integral dimensions of clinical nursing practice. Their positive correlation emphasizes the need for targeted strategies to enhance infection control practice adherence. Integrating these practices into the organizational culture ensures safe, efficient, and top-quality infection prevention, benefiting not only nurses but the entire healthcare team.

However, they face considerable challenges, including poor working conditions, and inadequate strategies for managing distress. These difficulties are often amplified in animal research, where a lack of consensus on the 3Rs (replacement, reduction, and refinement), challenges to navigate complex regulations and ethical dilemmas can further complicate the situation.
