Infection prevention measures encompass a range of strategies and actions to reduce the risk of acquiring or transmitting infections. Conversely, barriers to compliance refer to factors or obstacles that impede adherence to recommended infection prevention practices among nursing students. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing targeted interventions to improve infection control practices and ultimately enhance patient safety among nursing students at the University of Bohol. This quantitative correlational research study was conducted to determine the infection prevention measures practiced and the barriers to compliance among the two hundred forty-eight randomly selected nursing students of the University of Bohol. The data were subjected to the Chi-Square Test and Spearman Rank Correlational Test, which revealed no significant relationship between the respondents' demographic profile and infection prevention measures. In contrast, results revealed a significant relationship between the respondents' demographic profile and barriers to compliance. It further revealed no significant correlation between the infection prevention measures and barriers to compliance. The findings imply the need for universal compliance, emphasizing the complexity of factors influencing healthcare practices. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to enhance overall infection prevention practices among nursing students.
