Factors affecting the performance of standard precautions focusing on the health belief model in South Korea: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Child health nursing research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to examine the factors affecting the performance of standard precautions among third- and fourth-year nursing students. Focusing on the health belief model, it included individual factors such as knowledge of standard precautions, health beliefs, and self-efficacy, along with patient safety culture factor-conceptualized as an environmental factor of the performance of standard precautions.
methodsThis study included 160 third- and fourth-year nursing students in South Korea. Participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing factors influencing the performance of standard precautions during clinical practice.
resultsThe hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that self-efficacy (β=.58, p<.001), experience with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) (β=-.15, p=.01), age (β=.12, p=.02), and knowledge of standard precautions (β=.14, p=.04) were significant predictors of the performance of standard precautions. Explanatory power of the model was 64.7%.
conclusionTo enhance the performance of standard precautions among third- and fourth-year nursing students, ongoing education and strategies to improve their self-efficacy for health behaviors are essential. Tailored programs should be developed to prevent HAIs based on the specific self-efficacy levels of these students.
