Current Status and Factors Associated With Standard Precautions Compliance Among ICU Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Observational study in Nursing open, 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
aimsThis study aims to assess the compliance of ICU nurses to standard precautions and to identify factors associated with their compliance, thereby providing evidence to inform targeted interventions.
designThis study employed a multicenter cross-sectional design.
methodsFrom June to July 2025, a multicenter survey was conducted among 378 ICU nurses from five tertiary hospitals in China. Data were collected through the Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale and the Perceived Organizational Support Scale. The results were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis H test, Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression. This study adhered to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist.
resultsThe results showed that the overall compliance rate with standard precautions among ICU nurses in tertiary hospitals was 73.4%. Compliance correlated positively with perceived organizational support (r = 0.328, p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that gender, occupational exposure within the past 6 months, and perceived organizational support were significantly associated with ICU nurses' compliance with standard precautions.
conclusionCompliance with standard precautions among ICU nurses in tertiary hospitals remains suboptimal and necessitates targeted improvement. Multifaceted strategies should be implemented to strengthen compliance, with particular emphasis on enhancing perceived organizational support. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nurse managers should routinely assess organizational support perceptions, implement targeted training and psychological support for nurses with occupational exposure. A structured care bundle incorporating these elements may provide a practical framework for improving compliance and reducing healthcare-associated infections. REPORTING
methodThe authors have adhered to the relevant EQUATOR guidelines-STROBE checklist for a cross-sectional study. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
